Replace my Primary Wired Bix with a wireless X6i box
My home configuration is this: 1 wired XG2V2-P cable box (my primary box) and 2 wireless x6i cable boxes. I also have 1GB XFI internet service and your router/modem. I have read on the Xfinity site, that I could replace my wired box with another x6i wireless box, but first need to make one of my other wireless boxes the primary first. Then all 3 wireless boxes would work over my WiFi w/o the need for the wired box. Is this correct?
When I posed this question in a local Xfinity store on Saturday - the answer was definitely. Asked the same question on Sunday and was told I would need a Wired Box that supports wireless cable boxes as th wireless boxes need to communicate through a wired box.
What is the answer and if possible, how do I change the Primary box and what reconfiguration of my x6i boxes is needed

Hello @user_0e8a9e thank you for reaching out through our forum. You would need the primary box to be wired. The wireless boxes do need to communicate through a wired box. I apologize for the confusion.
