How can I upgrade to a XB8 Gateway?

Greetings,

I am currently in the Gigabit extra plan and possess a XB7 modem. Found out recently about the existence of the new Gateway and would like to know how can I switch from my current XB7 to a XB8.

Thanks.

Great question @user_wb261 , I recommend bringing your ID and the old equipment. However, I would like to check the inventory before you head down there to ensure they have some in stock. To check on this, please send us a direct message with your first/last name and full address by clicking the "direct message" icon on the upper right page of the forum page. Once you click on that, input our shared handle "Xfinity Support" to send us a direct message. If you're signed in to your forums profile and because you have already posted to the public page, you should have the option to do so.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Quick follow-up: Do I need to bring anything during my visit? If so, what exactly do I need to bring with me?
