Storm ready wifi

I have been unable to activate my storm ready WiFi. My first device would not work. After 3-4 hours of support, and escalation to a higher department, I was told to return the device and get a new one. I waited an hour at a store and did this. Next, I was unable to remove the previous device. Again, 3-4 hours dealing with support and 2 home technician visits and no one was able to fix the problem. The old device still shows on my account and will not go away. I was told to again return the device to a store today, which I did. All of this time and effort, and it never worked. 

It seems to me that Xfinity released this device too early without proper testing and support. I am both disappointed and frustrated with this problem. Next, I will have to spend time with support to get the charges removed as I am still being charged another $250+ for the device that I retuned. I am giving up on having this device.

 Thank you for reaching out @user_d311d7 To confirm you returned the first one you received and then again today the replacement? The store would have processed a return of the device. Did they provide you with a receipt?

I did not receive a receipt.

I have chatted and talked to support more times than I can even count. Not a single person, including senior support, has been able to help. Currently, the first storm ready WiFi still shows on my Xfinity app, despite being deleted and not showing on your end. The reason I initiated this forum was to alert you to a bug or flaw in your system. Perhaps you should escalate this so that it can be resolved. My contacting support again (I’ve done that over 50 times) is an exercise in futility at this point.
