Wifi issues with security touchscreen

On 01/16/25 my boyfriend and I went to a store location to address some issues with our internet speed. I did not get informed by anyone in Xfinity when I had my equipment installed that our modem should be replaced every 2 years. Fine, cool, they swapped it. Gave us the newer modem that has the gold bottom, just for our home security touchscreen not to connect to the wifi. I stayed on the phone with support that night for 2 hours just for them to have a service tech come out the next day to find the issue. The service tech already knew what was wrong before even walking into the house and said that the touchscreen was not compatible with the newest modem and changed us back to the old modem that we had before just a new one. Now we're having the old issue we had before where our speed on our wifi is horrible and worse than what it was before. Why didn't the tech just upgrade our security touchscreen? What can I do about this now because now I'm beyond frustrated dealing with this issue in the first place?

Thank you very much for reaching out to us here @user_cqyefn. That is definitely not the experience we would like you to have, and I will be happy to check into any internet issues from here. Could you send me a direct message with the full name and complete address for your service?

   The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.

   - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

I already got this taken care of. The technician didn't know what he was talking about. I was able to get the xb8 modem and everything is connected now. I also want to mention yall need to reassess your policy. I was told over the phone that I would not get charged for the tech coming out if they found out if was an equipment issue. Which it was, and yet you guys still are trying to charge me
