Activation must be repeated on each Firestick. Then download YOUTUBE app log into account to register and start watching.
Comcast will not provide support with your new modem.

It’s actually very simple.
Before you start unpluging things, how did you do wifi in your house? do you have a separate router or do you have the Comcast box which is a combined modem and router in one box? If your new modem does not do wifi internally, you will need a router so that the Firesticks can connect over wifi. I prefer separate modems and routers but that is a personal preference.

Good luck.
