Just purchased this modem and tried to activate on Xfinity and the tech I was working with was unable to see it.  The top LED on the front was a solid green, and the bottom one was blinking green.  After providing the MAC address to the tech and waiting, I was never able to get a proper internet connection.  I WAS able to get their ‘activation’ screen up, but when following all the steps I would end up back at the initial activation screen.

 

To me this sounds like an Xfinity problem, but the fact that the tech was unable to ‘see’ my modem makes me unsure.  When we were done I just plugged my old modem back in and all worked fine.  So now my new modem is waiting for me to make another run at this whole installation.  He seemed to think that there may be a problem with the new modem, which is why I am here to see if anyone has any ideas.   I really don’t think I should need a tech to come install this.

Try calling back and talking to someone else. the green light is the upstream connection trying to acquire a connection. Maybe he put in the wrong mac or activation had issues. 


We verified the MAC several times, however there was an accent at play...so there is a chance it was off.  I intend to try the self activation again before trying to get another human on the phone...  


sounds like a good plan
