Hi lkd94! Thanks for visiting our Xfinity Forum. We appreciate you choosing Xfinity as your service provider and would love to assist you with activating your service. You can download the Xfinity app on your mobile phone to activate your internet in minutes.
Try calling 1-855-652-3446. That is their self-install device activation line. Have the RF / CM / HFC MAC address and the serial number of it handy when you call.
Give this one last shot. Call 1-800-comcast and tell a rep that you would like to have a new modem activated / provisioned for service. If that doesn't work for you, I will escalate the issue to the Comcast employees here.

@user_hxcu4p - What make and model are you using to download and activate the app?

Your phone is too old for the update. It needs a later version of the OS than your phone supports.
You can call 1-855-652-3446. That is the xfinity activation number. You should have your gateway connected to power, turned on, and connected to the cable in your home. You will need to read the agent who helps you some information from the label that is on the bottom of the gateway. Once it is activated, change the password...and don't use a word that is readable.
@user_hxcu4p Try this page https://register.xfinity.com/. Let us know if it works.

@lkd94 thank you for checking, and sorry to hear that didn't work either. I was checking to see if the network information can be updated logging in online, but the password reset is for the Xfinity ID and not the home network.
I really appreciate you attempting everything that is being asked, and want to help ensure your equipment is able to get activated. Since we've already attempted multiple steps, and still no resolution. When you have time please send a direct message and I can run through the equipment activation process.
To send a direct message:
Click "Sign In" if necessary
• Click the "Direct Message chat" icon
• Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
• Type "Xfinity Support" in the "To:" line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list which appears. The "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line
• Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window, please add your full name and address
• Press Enter to send it

It says I will need the app. But when I try to download the app, "Your device isn't compatible with this version."
