Storm Ready WiFi Won't Activate

I've followed the directions and trouble-shooting steps, including restarting the gateway and resetting the storm-ready wifi device and battery, but the app never gets past the "Powering up your Storm-Ready Device..." step and the white lights on both just steadily blink on and off. The device is within 5 feet of my gateway and near a window. Any other suggestions?

Thank you for reaching out to us @user_zt8f3k! If you haven’t already, I highly recommend checking out our article on activating the Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi router. 

Are the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands for your WiFi network the same name and same password?

I have tried these steps but was unable to connect. My 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands do use the same name and password.

Hmmm.  Can you tell me what error, if any, you are receiving @user_zt8f3k?

No error message, it just never gets beyond "Powering up your Storm-Ready Device...", even after trying for over an hour.

@user_40hpbv, were you able to get your Storm-Ready WiFi activated? If not, can you tell me the status of the lights on your device?

@user_1sld2s 

Please create a new topic of your own here on this board detailing your issue. Thanks. The original poster has not returned. 4-month-old dead thread is now being closed.


For future reference, it is better to submit your own post as it creates a ticket to get help, and posting on someone else's older thread can delay getting help.
