Living in a WiFi Ready Apartment means that you can sign up for Xfinity Internet service and activate it right away, without waiting for a tech visit or Getting Started kit. Sign up for Xfinity services at xfinity.com/connectnow, by calling 1-800-xfinity or visiting your nearest Xfinity Retail Store. Shop Xfinity Internet deals and lease the xFi Gateway at checkout. To activate, just follow these steps.

How To Sign Up and Activate

To sign-up go to xfinity.com/connectnow and enter your address to shop deals.
Build a package or select an offer that works for you. On the Internet Equipment page, you can choose Activate the pre-installed xFi Gateway or Use your own modem.
- Note: Customers at our fiber-only properties are not offered an option to use their own modem as customer-owned devices are not supported. They will need to rent the pre-installed xFi Fiber Gateway to receive Xfinity service.
Once your order is complete and confirmed, you can instantly activate your pre-installed xFi Gateway to begin enjoying your Xfinity services. To do so, download the Xfinity app from the Apple App Store or Google Play using your mobile phone and log in with your Xfinity ID. Follow the steps within the Xfinity app to configure your Internet and get connected.

Note: Customers at fiber-only properties will need to follow the steps below to activate as Xfinity app activation is not available at this time.

How To Activate at Fiber-Only Properties

Xfinity app activation is not currently available for customers at fiber-only properties. If you live at a fiber-only property, follow the steps below to activate your services.

Locate the pre-installed gateway in your apartment.
- Tip: It will be inside a media cabinet or wall-mounted bracket. There may also be an Xfinity sticker on the front of the cabinet. This depends on the property.
- Find the Network Name (SSID) and Password (Network Key) on the sticker on the side of the Wireless Gateway. The name should look like XFSETUP-XXXX to connect to your WiFi.
Go to your WiFi settings on your personal device and make sure WiFi is turned on. Select or enter the Network Name (SSID) and when prompted, enter the password. Both can be found printed on the sticker on the Wireless Gateway.
Open a web browser. You’ll see an Xfinity welcome page that directs you to click the link 'here' for WiFi Ready Apartments. If the welcome page doesn't automatically appear, go to xfinity.com/activate and follow the steps to complete the activation process.
Follow the steps to create a unique WiFi Name and password. Connect your devices to your WiFi network using your new WiFi name and password. Activation is complete, and you’re ready to start using your service.
