Loud Humming with Internet Modem

My Xfinity wifi modem (xFi Gateway) has been making a loud humming noise since I got it, could I get a replacement or take it in for repair if needed?

The fan is malfunctioning or the blades are loaded with dust. It's quite a common problem here. You could try blowing it out with some canned air. If that doesn't work, there is no fix other than to get it swapped out for another by them. Taking it to your local Xfinity store to be swapped out for another would be the fastest option, or ship it back for free via UPS and have them ship you another one.
