Not sure that this is the best place to ask about Xfinity. Have you visited its support site?
You can find instructions on how to connect your router in the support section for that devices.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Look for the model number on the label on the device. Be sure to look for the right V (version) number. If there isn't one, then it will be V1.
Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.
The important thing to do when wiring up a network is to do it in the right order.
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
