"Search for Xfinity Support" won't work. To send a "Direct Messaging" message to Xfinity Support:
I have two coax wired XG1v4 DVRs that work with my Netgear router and an Xfinity modem in bridge mode. The other 4K box is the Xi6 wireless model that does require the user of Xfinity internet gear.
@charleyrich1 I don't think the modem matters with a wired DVR. You are not required to have internet for TV service. Are you dealing with the Xfinity store or a phone agent?
I'd try another agent. The modem isn't even in the signal path for the DVR. Mine is on a different output of a splitter and I can disconnect the modem and the DVRs run normally.
I do understand they want people to move to the wireless boxes like Xi6. But, they still have the wired ones and they work without their modems or any Xfinity provided Internet service.

You may get a faster response by calling support. Or with the Xfinity chat.

I have a similar situation. I have a 4k TV, but I have a Netgear C7800 Modem/Router (Xfinity compatible)
I want to switch from my Tivo box to an Xfinity box.
However, Xfinity support won't send me a 4k box as they say it won't work with my modem.
I also have a MOCA box, if that matters.
Is there any way I can get an Xfinity 4k box that will work with my modem?
Thanks for any help someone can provide.

Perhaps because my modem is netgear they balked at sending it.

Sorry, not familiar with MoCA. It's possible that using MoCA and a non Xfinity modem over Xfinity TV coax is a fly in the ointment.
