5/13/2024 0 Comments Xfinity gateway![]() That’s some convenient simplicity, Xfinity. That’s right, it’s the same app you use to view your Xfinity plan, bills, and data usage-no separate xFi app needed. You can control your xFi Gateway through the Xfinity app. That’s almost an hour and a half total-switching routers is no joke, y’all. Connecting my seven smart home devices to my new Wi-Fi network took another 30 minutes. Otherwise, the situation would have called for a long conversation with an Xfinity agent.Īfter all the troubleshooting and the more run-of-the-mill wait times for the xFi Gateway to activate, setup took me about 50 minutes in total. Thank goodness I’m comfortable poking around in apps. I got kicked out, and I had to dig through all the menus (the Xfinity app has so many menus, y’all) to pick up where I left off. When the app worked, setup was a breeze-but then the app went on the fritz. There was a bit of a wait, but the store had good social-distancing practices, and I was there for less than 10 minutes total.īack at home, I started the setup using the Xfinity app. To save time and cash, I went to my local store to pick it up instead. But since I’m a veteran Xfinity customer, Xfinity would charge me about $50 for shipping (a rough estimate from my Xfinity agent). When you’re a new Xfinity customer, Xfinity will ship your xFi Gateway and everything you need to install it for free. I gave my Netgear CM400 and Netgear R6220 a break to test the xFi Gateway just for you. Guess what-it’s your favorite writer, Rachel Oaks.
