How to activate modem

My modem broken few day ago and I went to nearby store to exchange for a new modem, but I am unable to figure out how to activate it, whenever I connect to the Wi-Fi it will tell me to download the xfinity app,to activate it, but I already had it download and it didn't link me to a page to activation, and there is no option within the app that allow me to activate it.

Try calling 1-855-652-3446. That is their 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.

It's especially frustrating that articles on xfinity's support site say you can activate the modem using the Xfinity mobile app, but the app has been updated and it looks like that information is no longer valid.  It's lame that we have to call support when this used to work from the app.
