Xfinity router not working

My Xfinity router seems to keep overheating. I dont even feel the fans inside turning on. The internet keeps cutting off every few seconds. I’ve unplugged the router many times and it doesn’t fix the problem. This has been happening for the past few days. I’ve never had this issue until now.

The fan is malfunctioning or the blades are loaded with dust and it's stuck. 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. You can also choose to pay for a UPS pick up at https://www.ups.com/us/en/business-solutions/pickup-dropoff-options/ups-on-call-pickup.page or by calling 1-800-PICK-UPS.
