Can't setup storm ready wifi with replacement gateway

I'm having issues with stormready wifi setup.  I initially has no issues with setting it up and it was working perfectly.    A little over a week ago my gateway died and I had to replace it with a new gateway.   I removed the stormready wifi via the Xfinity app and it  was successfully removed.   Now trying to activate it with the new gateway will get to step 5/6 connecting to your stormready device.  Then I get a sorry this isn't working error.   Have tried multiple times with the same result.  Have unplugged and replugged the stormready with minutes between unplugging and replugging.   Have tried the reset button on the rear of the stormready.   Have restarted gateway.  Have deleted and reinstalled the Xfinity app on my phone.   Can't seem to get it to successfully activate and pair to the new gateway.   It is in the same location as it was previously both the gateway and stormready.   Please help.

@user_ss3s5m Hope it connected successfully. If not, reset the modem to factory settings, and try to pair the unit to the modem with the default settings. If that doesn't help, hold down the reset button on the Storm Ready device for over 30 seconds, to help clear out any memory it doesn't need from the prior network.

@user_9f249j​ working through it now.  Will let you know what happens.  I didn't get any notification of the message from Xfinity above so didn't see that until I checked your message.

Thank you for the update. Just so you know Xfinity was able to solve the issue for me. My old gateway was still associated with my account and my storm ready wifi. They had to remove the association of the old gateway on my account and I just had to reset the storm ready and go through the activation wizard one more time. Hope this helps.
