Can I buy my own modem for Xfinity?
Yes, most members can buy and set up their own third-party modem and router compatible with our network. If you use your own device, you won't get access to Xfinity-exclusive features like built-in Advanced Security or network management tools in the Xfinity app. We also won't be able to provide automatic hardware upgrades. Learn more about using approved third-party equipment.
Do I need a separate router if I have an Xfinity WiFi Gateway?
No. Because the Xfinity Gateway is a 2-in-1 device, it already has a powerful Tri-Band router built right in. It is engineered to handle data up to 2.5 Gbps and can provide wall-to-wall coverage. If you have a large home or tricky dead spots, you can also pair your Gateway with our WiFi Extenders for consistent coverage in every room.
How long does it take to set up my Xfinity WiFi Gateway?
The self-install setup is very quick. You can pick up your Xfinity WiFi Gateway at a local Xfinity store and be online in about 15 minutes. Depending on where you live, same-day or next-day delivery may also be available—you can choose your option during checkout. Once you have your Xfinity WiFi Gateway: plug it in and have the Xfinity app guide you through an easy self-installation. You can even choose to keep your existing network name and password so your devices reconnect instantly. If your home requires a technician to get connected, we offer professional installation appointments to get you set up.
What happens to my WiFi if the internet or power goes out?
If you want peace of mind, you can upgrade to our Xfinity Pro experience. It features the Pro WiFi Extender — which automatically switches to unlimited 4G LTE cellular data during an unexpected network outage — so your home stays connected. You can also add a Battery Backup to keep your network online for up to 4 hours if the power goes out.
Requires post-paid Xfinity internet and compatible gateway. Max. up to 2 WiFi extenders (if recommended). Battery backup sold separately.
