Looking to ugrade from an XB8 to an XB10

I've been looking to upgrade my XB8 to an XB10 for some time now and can't find a way to do so.

I upgrade my internet to the 2 Gbps and never got an option to upgrade when I heard it was being prioritized to the top tiers.

Either way, I've had to restart my XB8 in 2025 countless of times I lost count because of slow internet to losing my doorbells wifi to not having enough range for the backyard.

I've done it all to see if it needed a firmware upgrade to restarting it via the Xfinity App but now I'm hoping I'll get better performance with the XB10 over the XB8.

Hey there @GTXJB! The XB10 Gateway is currently reserved for customers in markets with symmetrical speed tiers (where upload and download speeds are equal, such as 1 Gbps up / 1 Gbps down or 2 Gbps up / 2 Gbps down). If your 2 Gbps plan is a 'mid-split' upgrade (e.g., 2 Gbps down / 200–350 Mbps up), the XB8 is still the standard compatible device for that tier.
