@EG​ I already did; the light is always solid red.

My app is stuck on the " Talk to an agent and reactivate gateway page.

i just talked to a agent half an hour ago who claimed that my gateway should be active now.

but it is still solid red

I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) who are available to these boards. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !
