Question about recent equipment change

Yesterday I exchanged my old cable boxes for new ones. I received 2 Xi-6T streaming boxes instead of traditional boxes which connect to a coaxial cable. Did I receive the right equipment or was I supposed to get regular cable boxes?

The wireless Xi6 is one of two 4K boxes.  The other is the wired DVR XG1v4.  Either should work.  I opted for the XG1v4 myself, primarily because I use my own router and the Xi6 requires Xfinity routing.   It also has more tuners and local DVR storage.   Plus, the Xi6 adds competition for wifi bandwidth.  I was originally sent an Xi6, which I swapped for an XG1v4.

@user_vlyiu3 Thanks for reaching out to our team for answers. This is a great question. The best thing abut our warehouse is they will send the best available boxes for your level of service. 

I actually love the wireless boxes, fewer cords and most importantly I use it outside when we BBQ!

I have a link that goes into more details about our wireless boxes

Are you having issues with your XI6 boxes?
