How to return Frontier equipment

If you make a change to your services and need to return equipment, we’ll email you or text with a QR code. You’ll use this QR code to return your equipment at a local The UPS Store®.

Important

You must return equipment within 30 days of completing your equipment return request. If we haven’t received your equipment within that time, you’ll be charged up to $400 for each unreturned device, depending on your model.

What equipment do I need to return?

You must return the following internet router models if you upgrade or change service. You can find the router model number on the back of the device.

Other Frontier equipment, including Video and TV devices such as DVR or set top boxes, does not need to be returned. If you have Frontier equipment that doesn’t need to be returned, please recycle it.
