Best 3rd party compatible alternative for Gateway XB8

What are the three best compatible alternatives for modem/router for Gateway XB8?

I tried https://www.xfinity.com/support/devices, But the site would I have a different device.

(Technicolor CGM4981COM Xfinity Wireless Gateway) when, in fact, I have the Gateway XB8.

I have the plan called Gigabit Extra.

Anyway, I would like to know the best three compatible modems/routers I could choose from to buy that are compatible with my plan.

Thank you for your help!

user_ns4b8t Thanks for posting on our Community Forums. I think it would really depend on personal preference and budget, but I would recommend using this Recommended Device List (which may or may not update in the future). It will list all recommended and compatible modems, as well as the first section being the (current) compatible devices for the next-gen network upgrades.

There should be instructions included for each device on installation. You can also find a lot of useful guides and manuals by searching online as well. For setting up the equipment on your account, you can activate new equipment through the Xfinity app and have it ready to go within minutes.
