Proper Storm Ready Support Team?
I've been STRUGGLING (to say the least) since I moved. I had Storm Ready working no issues at my old house but it has not worked since moving to my new house.
- The tech that did the Xfinity install of my XB8 was unable to help get my 1st device working
- I had a random 2nd device show up shortly after my install; that did not activate either.
- Xfinity sent a tech out who told me I should return both devices to the Xfinity store to have them removed and get another device.
- Did that - a 3rd device was sent; another tech was sent and he's showing all three on the account
- Have talked to numerous voice and chat agents, most who don't even know what this device is, try to help - they can't. They either want to send another tech or another device (I've had 3 techs and 3 devices).
- The Xfinity Store Manager told me he had the 2 devices I no longer have removed and only the device I have now is still on the account.
- Still didn't work - a person at support told me all three are still showing on the account.
- I was told my tech was escalated last week and I would get a call within an hour - no one ever called.
- The Store Manager stopped responding to me when I asked for his manager so I can escalate finding the right path.
Can someone PLEASE get my account looked at by a Level 3 resource that knows these devices and how they work.
My Xfinity app just says "Storm-Ready Wi-Fi Needs Attention", and when I follow the prompts, it just tells me to check the cables and restart the device.
I've been paying for a device I've been unable to use for two months and stuck in a support loop.... please help.

When I chat with the support guy that is supposed to call me tomorrow to check that it worked I'll ask him what right path / keyword to get a hold of them. The Moderators on this Forum helped get my ticket to the right team - and that's when people that knew what they were talking about started to call me.

I have the same issue and it’s been over 8 months, number of calls and constant messages, Xfinity support is so bad and the knowledge is limited. This is a scam. I try to get the refund and same going in circle. Worse service of any internet provider. I am switching over to another service as soon as the contract is done. These people are scams

For as long as I remember these people don’t call and forget about any kind of follow up. Even the escalation tickets get closed without giving reason of closing.

I have been struggling with the issue of activating my second storm ready on my account. I have made multiple calls and chats and no resolution or refund. I am sitting on a storm ready box that is a paper weight now as I cannot activate it till the old one removed from my account . What a pathetic service. DO NOT GET XFINITY IF SERVICE IS THE PRIORITY AS ITS RIDICULOUS.
