Set Up Your Internet Service

Set up Internet service by using Comcast Xﬁnity’s self‑activation

process. If you are unable to self‑activate your modem router, call

Comcast Xﬁnity customer service. Aer you complete the setup,

perform a speed test.

Use the Self-Activation Process to Set Up Your

Internet ConnectionI

Before you start the self‑activation process, make sure that your

account number, account phone number, and login information

(your email address or user name and password) are nearby.

¾To set up your Internet connection with Comcast Xﬁnity’s

self-activation process:

1. Close all web browsers.

2. Launch a web browser.

You are redirected to the Xﬁnity self‑activation page. If you are

not redirected to the Xﬁnity self‑activation page, visit

www.comcast.com/activate.

3. Provide your Xﬁnity credentials and complete the self‑

activation process.

This process might take up to 15 minutes, during which the

modem router reboots a couple of times.

Call Comcast Xﬁnity to Set Up Your Internet

Connection

If you are unable to self‑activate your modem router, call Comcast

Xﬁnity customer service.

Before you call Comcast Xﬁnity, make sure that your account

number, account phone number, email address, and password are

nearby. The modem router’s model number is C7000. The serial

number and MAC address are on the product label.

¾To set up your Internet connection by calling Comcast

Xﬁnity:

1. Call Comcast Xﬁnity customer service at 1‑800‑XFINITY

(1‑800‑934‑6489).

2. When asked, provide your account information and provide the

modem router’s model number and MAC address.

3. Wait for the Comcast Xﬁnity representative to conﬁrm that

your modem router is active.

4. If you do not get an Internet connection with the modem

router, ask the Comcast Xﬁnity representative to look for your

modem router online, and do one of the following depending

on what the Comcast Xﬁnity representative tells you about your

modem router:

• If the modem router is not visible, the Comcast Xﬁnity

representative can give you instructions to verify why the

modem router does not connect with your high‑speed

Internet service.

• If the modem router is visible to the Comcast Xﬁnity

representative, reboot the modem router. Check your

online status again.

WiFi Network Name and Password

The preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network key)

are unique to your modem router, like a serial number. Because the

modem router automatically uses WiFi security, you don’t need to

set it up. The WiFi settings are on the product label.

NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset WiFi settings

because you can check the product label if you forget them.

NETGEAR genie lets you change these settings. If you do so, write

down the new WiFi settings and store them in a safe place.

You can write the WiFi settings from your product label in this space

for easy reference.

If you change the WiFi settings, write the new settings here for
