You also do not need to use their router. Yes, they give you one, but it's just an OK router. It provides the basics. When I had Xfinity, I always used my own modem and router... for two reasons:

1) Having my own modem saved me $10/month lease fee (I'm pretty sure it's even more now). You can buy a basic modem for $50, and it's paid off in 5 months.
2) My router was a mesh system and provided far better coverage and wireless speed than their router.
