IF (Big IF) you have a coax cable near the location where you want the Router located, then this is actually a DIY project. If there is no coax nearby, you are probably better off with galaxy, the last time I was involved with Xfinity they would not go into the attic.
Here is what I did, there was a coax in the guest bedroom a few feet away from where I want the modem and into opposite side of the wall. I drilled holes through the wall, connected about 20 feet of extension coax, feed it through the wall and installed to cover plates, works great.
