Trouble activating router on Xfinity

Model C3700 N600 WiFi Cable Modem Router

 

I purchased this router in 2015, registered it with Netgear and installed it on my home network with Xfinity.

 

I have since replaced the router and sold it to someone else.  She contacted me because Xfinity told her they could not activate the router on her home network because I had registered it with Netgear.  What the heck do I need to do so she can activate the router on her network.  Getting through to Netgear is impossible.

 

Thank you, in advance, for any assistance.

That shouldn't matter. I've had several modems I've sold without issues. 

it might be the xfinity tech giving her grief.

the only time I had an issue was when a modem was still the primary modem on a clients account when I bought it. They had to deregister it at xfinity and wouldn't until the customer did it.
