Apple airport express setup with comcast mac#

I even tried plugging directly into my nintendo switch from the modem, it also saw no internet connection even though it saw that it was plugged into an ethernet port. I logged into my router from my desktop to check, and it sure enough said no internet connection. I booted the modem, let that connect, I then plugged an ethernet into my router from the modem, plugged in power, turned it on and it would not get an internet signal. If your router supports that, it could work, but it shouldn't be necessary.

You can make your router have the same Mac address as the computer you activated the service on. Another option to try is MAC address cloning. Meaning, that the modem would need to be rebooted and the whole DHCP process would need to happen again so you could get a new IP for the router. I know for a fact that Xfinity does IP leases via DHCP based on the Mac address of the device connected to your modem. Im going to go out on a limb and assume that you have booted up the modem, then booted up the router, then booted up your computer? I wanted to know if anyone else has been having this issue?

it see's the modem but never identifies the network. I've tried multiple ethernet cables, though it's obvious this isn't the issue as the internet works perfectly fine, just on that one device used to activate it, so even if i take the already working internet and connect the modems ethernet to a different computer, it will not work. I've also tried connecting to each device without either switch, same situation. I have everything hardwired through a nighthawk switch (I've also tried my basic netgear switch as well) Neither could figure out what the issue was. So of course I thought the issue is with xfinity, called in and spoke with 2 reps.

It will absolutely only work with the ONE device used to activate the xfinity service through the modem. Game consoles, wifi-router, other computer, nothing. I called in, they resent the activation signal and this time I tried it on my other computer, and then the internet only worked on that computer and nothing else. The issue I'm having, is that the internet ONLY works on the device used to activate the modem with xfinity.

I went through the activation process both with the automated system with the CM1000, and after that bricked, I did the phone activation with the Arris SB8200. Arris Surboard SB8200 and the Netgear CM1000.
