Connect it to the coax line / outlet and power it up. Let it fully sync up with the system. Check that the front or the top panel indicator light(s) is / are steadily lit. Then call 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.

Hi @user_jjzvpw. Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. In order to self-activate the Xfinity xFi Gateway or third-party modem, you would need access to the Xfinity App. You can learn more and the steps to activate by visiting our 'Activate an Xfinity Gateway or third-party modem with the Xfinity app' support page. Please let us know if you run into any issues. We are always happy to help.

They stated "without getting the app? "....

The self-activation line does indeed work... And any rep can do it remotely. One is not married to using the app exclusively.
