Replacement request for XB6 gateway due to loud fan

I recently activated my internet service and received an XB6 gateway. Since setting it up, the fan has been very loud and extremely distracting. I’ve already restarted the gateway and made sure it’s in an open, well-ventilated location rather than inside a closet or enclosed space. Would it be possible to have a replacement gateway mailed to me? If available, I’d prefer an XB7 or XB8. Thank you so much!

I will be more than happy to help with your request. 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 "Start New Conversation" (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.
