14 Modems You Can Use With Comcast Xfinity To Save Money

No guessing — these are the modems that will work.

So you've got internet service with Comcast Xfinity but have made he financially sound decision to go with your own modem instead of renting one. Good for you, pat yourself on the back for taking matters into your own hands. (And, yeah, doing a little bit of math in the process.)

But you can't just pick up any old modem off the shelf. You're going to need one that's compatible with Xfinity's network.

The good news is you don't have to guess at which modem to buy to work with Xfinity. They've got a perfectly handy list of current modems — some of which double as routers — which we present to you here:
