I bought a new cable modem/router for my PC and mobile devices that instructs me to activate via xfinity\activate however I get redirected to gstatic.com to download the 'App' for Apple or Android. No option for Windows and no way to get past this. Is this gstatic ligitimate? Can I activate the modem another way?

Connect it to the coax line and power it up. Let it fully sync up with the system, and check that the front / top panel indicator light(s) are steadily lit. 


Then connect a computer to it and open up a browser. You *may* see their *Walled Garden* modem self-registration page. If so, follow the screen prompts. Have your mobile telephone number, your Xfinity username and password, or the account number and telephone number associated with your Comcast account handy.


If not, try calling 1-855-652-3446. That is their self-install device activation line.


If that doesn't work for you, you can call 1-800-comcast and tell a rep that you would like to have a new modem provisioned for service. Have the RF / CM / HFC MAC address and the serial number of it handy when you call.
