Stuck in apartment gateway activation loop – need help

Hi, I'm in an apartment with a preinstalled Xfinity gateway. Got a verification call yesterday but missed it. Now Wi-Fi connects but no internet—redirects to idm.xfinity.com. Text code failed with "Sorry, That Didn’t Go As Planned." Tried calling (bots), callbacks (unavailable at 2 AM). Please help activate!

I'm not sure if this method works anymore (YMMV). Try calling 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. Good luck ! Please let me know.
