Cannot activate pods

Using the app when I try to activate it just says "something went wrong" and never goes further. I spoke to customer support and they claimed my new gateway was too old, so fine, I went and traded it in for a new one. Same problem. So I now have the newest model and the Xfinity app is updated. No luck. Can someone do this on your end for me?

Where did you buy the pods from?  Are they the older type of pod?  If you bought them anywhere but from xfinity, they are probably locked to an account and cannot be activated.  If they are the older, first gen pods, they are incompatible with newer security protocols.   Hope you get it sorted out.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.
