Buying my own Modem/Router

In order to save $14 a month I am thinking about buying my own Gateway. My concern s setting all this up. One concern is calling Xfinity to register my device and whatever else I need to do and getting someone on the phone. If I bought a compatibleapproved Modem/Router Combo and go to my local Xfinity store a couple miles from my home would they be able get everything set up so I could take it home and attach all the wires and plug it in. Thanks for any assistance in this matter.

Hi, @Terry0327. I see you are shopping for a new modem. I truly recommend visiting this link to learn about the overall process: https://comca.st/3tyKFvY More importantly, it will provide the steps on how to ensure your device is an Xfinity approved modem before you buy. It's a pretty easy layout, and it will suggest the best Xfinity approved modem depending on your speed tier. It does all the hard work for you which is nice.

 

Lastly, you don't have to call in to activate and set up the device. You can also use the Xfinity App as well: https://comca.st/3Kl4z3w You have a community here that can help you along the way. We are always here to assist, so you can post here again once you have the device if you run into any hiccups.
