[QUOTE="10 Gauge, post: 472603, member: 39102"] This is what you really need to do.... You need to also purchase your own modem (Motorola Surfboard) to go along with your new router, and send ALL of their equipment back. It will all pay for itself after you stop paying the ridiculous lease fees to Comcast. The only issue will be - if you use them for a land line phone - you will lose that ability. We have Xfinity as well, with a phone package (because it was cheaper), but we don't actually use the phone portion of the service. If you absolutely must keep your phone service with them, then you will pretty much just have to go and buy the same modem/router/voip box that you are already using (which sucks, and then they wont replace it when it breaks). So my suggestion to you is dump the phone if you don't actually need or use it like us and get yourself your own modem and router. Otherwise, you can continue to use their modem but it will have to act as the router as well if you wish to use the phone, making buying a new router pointless. [/QUOTE]
