New gateway

"Hello, I recently upgraded to your 1 Gig plan and set up the X5B/XB gateway that was mailed to me. I am currently receiving automated texts stating my equipment does not support my speeds and asking to ship me a new gateway. Since I just set this up a couple of months ago, I want a real person to look at my account. Can you check if this text is just an automated bug in your system, or if there is actually a brand new model or service change that requires me to swap my equipment again? I want to avoid the hassle of swapping equipment if it isn't truly necessary. Thank you."

Hello there @user_p06bg0 I can confirm that if you are satisfied with your modem, it's ok to use the one you have connected. I will be more than happy to look over your account just to make sure you do have a strong device. To begin, would you mind sending me your name and the address to your account in a Direct message?

 

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon

Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

- As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

- An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line

Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window

Press Enter to send it.

I just talked to your chat and they told me that they don’t know why I’m getting a text message sayingi need to update because my gateway is the most current up-to-date gateway. For some reason there’s a glitch in your system that’s sending out text messages that are not applicable to me. I do not understand why that’s happening. But I like to not stop the text messaging because I wanna get text messages from you that are applicable to me, but if I’m getting text messages from you that are not necessarily applicable, then it’s just  kind of superfluous

I agree, that can become a bit annoying. I would go ahead and ignore this one at this time. Please follow up and keep us posted if you do continue to receive messages about your modem.
