The Santa Cruz store was out of stock so I'm asking the original Comcast folks who DM'd me to ship me a unit. Thanks.

I also heard that but I gave it a shot... no dice in Santa Cruz. So I'm doing the shipping route.

I just made an appointment for Tuesday at 3pm - I let them know that I need a XG1v4 so hopefully they will have one in stock.

Simply put... people are going back to wired gigabit Ethernet because WiFi has just not delivered the goods - even with all the bells and whistles. I paid serious money for my modem and router to get good service and the WiFi just doesn't live up to it. I could go on and on about all the different devices that just randomly connect and disconnect from WiFi - something that just doesn't happen with wired Ethernet. And I'm not in a high-interference area. So I now have a 16-port Gigabit switch as my backbone and 3 satellite switches in different parts of the house and everything works great from Zoom to hi-def TV apps.

Just wanted to pile on - I have a very similar configuration (own an Arris T25 modem) and I'm working with a Comcast tech to sort out the best solution. I think we're just going to replace my HD DVR with the 4K DVR XG1V4 and leave the rest on HD (I've got 3 XiD-Ps). My HD DVR is pretty old and is starting to make more noise so I think its time for a replacement in any case. Comcast making Wireless central to this 4K rollout seems shall we say a bit aggressive. I just took my house back from almost all WiFi to almost all Gigabit Ethernet because of issues with WiFi and Streaming Video that we're all too familiar with now. And that's with 600 Megabit broadband and an AC5000 router. Life became so much easier with the wired Ethernet connected to all of my computers and TVs.

I just got off the phone with Xfinity customer service and had the same experience. They were only offering me the wireless box that requires the Xfinity modem at $14/month, not the xg1v4 4K dvr box. Is it still possible to get the xg1v4 4k box as I'm in the same boat with an Arris T25 and Netgear router that I don't want to replace? I have read thru the 4K requirements page and it doesn't say anything about modems.
