Swap out equipment

I think I have old equipment. Is it possible to take my current gateway back to an Xfinity Center and swap it out for something current without being charged?

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hi there, @user_zwe4nj. Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum. You can certainly take your current gateway and power cord to an XFINITY Store and swap it out for another one at no charge. You can find locations and hours here : https://www.xfinity.com/local/store-offers

And the installation should be plug and play, right? And I hope the same with the mesh network pod?

Hi @user_zwe4nj! Essentially yes, however, you will have to set up your Wi-Fi settings again through the app.  The good news is, if you know your current Wi-Fi name and password and 'write that down' before you make the swap, when you get home and activate your new modem using the Xfinity App, you can simply use the same Name and Password in the setup for the new modem and all of your devices should connect to it.  However, if you need assistance with that, we're here to help when the time comes and can walk you through it if needed! 😀
