New Gateway and New X-Fi Pods and Pods still won't connect to new Gateway

Received a new gateway at Xfinity's suggestion. First 2 days were spent trying to connect existing X-Fi Pod to the new gateway. Then they sent me a new X-Fi Pod and it won't connect. Can't connect via Xfinity app \nd tech support cannot activate it remotely.

The true insult is when, at the end of each call (it takes an act of God to speak with a live human being), they try to sell me Xfinity mobile service, apparently not realizing that asking me such a question flies in the face of them not being able to fully execute a new Gateway installation correctly.

They even sent a technician out to fix the Pod, and he had no idea what to do.

Terrible!

Another service tech came to the house and ended up replacing the new gateway. POD successfully connected. 

Thanks for the reply and support.

Well, Comcast has [Edited: Language] up yet again. After all my trouble the past 2 weeks due to Comcast suggesting a new Gateway, they have charged me a $100 installation fee for the 2nd new gateway they had to install to fix my original issue (which again, was caused by Comcast suggesting a new gateway).

Just terrible customer care.
