No Internet After Service Transfer to New Home

I recently moved and received support in transferring my service to my new address, but I cannot access the internet.

All of my devices can connect to WI-FI successfully, and all indicators on both my modem and router suggest that the connections to the internet and between the modem and router are working. All device settings are the same as when I could connect to the internet at my previous address.

What might be the problem here, and what can I do to fix it?

Did you get the modem activated for service at the new address by them ?

@EG​ Yes, that was part of the process of having my internet service transferred.

@EG I completed the transfer and activated the modem on my end. From what I can tell, the modem is in good working condition, with an active boot file. @noelle409 I recommend checking your router settings specifically. The blinking LAN light points to a good activation with signal. I also recommend making sure all connections are finger-tight and that there aren't any splitters with unused ports.

@XfinityTony​ What router settings specifically should I check? All of my devices can connect to the wireless network but cannot connect to the internet.

Ok have you done a proper powercycling operation of all of your equipment lately ?


Proper power-cycling order;

Shut down all computers connected to the router.
Power down / unplug the modem and the router.
Allow them to sit for 60 seconds unplugged.
Plug in the modem first and allow it to completely boot up until the indicator light(s) on it show a steady connection (lit steadily).
Plug in the router and let it fully boot up and sync with the modem.
Start the computer and allow it to completely boot up.
Any joy ?

No worries, @EG. We have been working with the customer via DM for the last day or so to get their services transferred to their new apartment. I just wanted to hop in and make sure you had all of the information.

Xfinity support was wholly unhelpful in resolving my service issue, so I resolved the problem by disconnecting my internet service and switching to USI fiber. Cheaper and faster with actually effective technical support.
