Powerline Adapter and Xfinity Ethernet port
The xfinity router is not recognizing a cisco/linksys powerline adapter when plugged into the ethernet port. Is there a way to enable the port? What do I have to do to get this port activated/recognize the poerline adapter?

It appears that Comcast is cofigured to only recognize THEIR MoCA adapters. The only solution is to purchase a xfinity compatible router and then use the powerline adapter, or find another internet service provider.

Have you tried using another port on the gateway and / or using a known to be good ethernet device in the port that you don't think is working and seeing if that device works ?
What about swapping out the ethernet cable in case it's malfunctioning ?
