Member-Owned Router Options for Xfinity Fiber service (EPON)

I need help with switching to Member-Owned Router 

If your community is served by Xfinity fiber (EPON), you may now be eligible to use your own third-party Ethernet router directly with the Optical Network Unit (ONU). Previously, EPON locations were required to use an Xfinity-provided device (XB7 or XER10) as part of the service setup and could not use their own modem. 


Now, if you live in an eligible community, you can request to use your own-third-party Ethernet router at no additional cost. You’ll be able to connect a compatible retail router directly to the ONU using an Ethernet cable. If you are interested in making this change, please connect with our team to facilitate the swap.
