Replacement Cable Box Help

We had an issue with our cable and internet a few days ago that prompted me to chat with a live agent on the app. We went through basic troubleshooting steps for the cable box before they told me that it was a "backend issue" that would be fixed in 2 hours (that didn't happen). Then they told me my cable box was too old and their lifespan is normally 2 to 2.5 years, which doesn't seem reasonable, and we worked out an order to send me a replacement cable box.

That replacement arrived today and I opened it to find an XiD-P box instead of an XG1v3 like we currently have. Can I please have some help from an employee to work this out properly?

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