Replace modem

I have finally had with the current modem is now just over a year old which is about the useful life of the cheap hardware Xfinity uses.  How do I set up an appoint to exchange the modem?  I am having far too many internet drops again, it is real pain dropping internet for Teams calls.  The Xfinity stores always want you having an appointment to walk in.

@jb_c Hi there, we can help with a possible modem swap. Before we do, what kind of troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

@XfinityJodie​ I have posted issues with drops before, I have to reset the modem each time.  What challenges my mind on some the drops with internet, my VoIP phone service through Xfinity still works.  I just figured time to replace the modem, I don't want a service call, because I don't like paying $75 for someone to tell me everything is ok.  Service calls cost.

Understood. You can swap the equipment if you wish. The easiest way would be by visiting us at the nearest service center. You can check the closest location HERE. Or we could set up a self-installation kit to be mailed out. This will take 3-5 business days to be received, and shipping charges may apply. If you'd like us to set up an order, please send our team a Direct Message with your full name and service address. Our team can help.

@XfinityJodie​  I have replaced the modem.  And still having at least one drop per day that requires me to reset the modem.  Just seems like a lot of resets for your modems Xfinity provides.  Is this normal with the equipment?

The concern is not "accessibility / disability" help related................... Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.
