I had an xfinity tech out today to confirm my modem died. It simply doesn't work, although it showcases it’s fine via the light on front. How does one go about getting it repaired?
Thanks in advance.

Could you please confirm the LED light status on your modem and let us know the name of your internet service provider? To help isolate the issue, we’ll need to connect the modem directly using an Ethernet cable.
To check the Ethernet port status, you can connect the modem directly to a computer and check the IP address without the coaxial cable connected.
To check the IP address on a Windows computer, please follow these steps:
To check the IP address on a Mac:
If the IP address starts with 169.254.., or if the media state shows 'disconnected' or the category is blank, there could be an issue with the port itself.
