How to remove unused customer modem from my account?

I have a Customer Modem on my account. I no longer use the Customer Modem. (I now have an Xfinity Gateway which I use.)

I would like to remove the Customer Modem from my account to avoid confusion. I tried to remove it using the Xfinity app, but was unsuccessful.

How do I remove the Customer Modem from my account? Thank you.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

I have the same problem, I received the following message but there is no way to remove or manage devices in the app or through the website. 

Switch to your supported modem today
You have more than one modem on your Xfinity account, including a supported modem that's ready to deliver a secure and reliable internet experience.
Your current modem is no longer receiving the latest security updates. Without the latest features, the security and performance of your modem may be impacted over time. Over time, this may affect your modem's security and performance. Move your Xfinity service from your older modem to your supported modem that's already on your account to help keep your connection secure and reliable.
No equipment purchase is required. Simply switch your supported modem to continue enjoying the latest Xfinity services and future network enhancements.
Act now to help keep your home connected with a secure, reliable internet experience.
Thank you for being with Xfinity

@XfinitySara I do not see the DM icon on either desktop or mobile browsers. Also, I unchecked "Opt Out from Direct Messaging." Any suggestions?

We're happy to help! If you sign out and back into your account does the messaging icon appear for you via the steps we outlined earlier?
