Gateway Replacement

When I use my Xfinity app to test my home network connection, it tells me that my gateway needs to be replaced but when I try to go through the prompts it gives me to get that taken care of I just receive an error. Live chat will not connect me with a representative and the AI agent is not helpful. My gateway consistently is not getting the amount of speed that my plan provides any longer and I keep getting errors when troubleshooting from the website that it can't fix and issues while doing things that require internet. How can I go about getting a gateway replacement??
