A fast and reliable internet connection that can handle multiple devices all at once is essential, especially during the holidays. Whether you're hosting guests this season, or managing a household full of smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, and smartwatches, Xfinity Internet gives you options to manage your connectivity and ensure reliable access around the clock.
Customers who use their own modems and routers can have fast, reliable connectivity. But if you rent an Xfinity Gateway or other equipment from us, you can get an even better experience. Here are some ways that you benefit with Xfinity equipment
What are Xfinity Gateways?
Xfinity Gateways are all-in-one equipment that combine modem and router capabilities. They provide WiFi coverage around your home, help keep you secure from cyber threats, all while delivering you fast speeds and the capacity to connect all your devices at once. In addition to Gateways, we offer other equipment like modems and routers to support the latest speed capabilities of our network.
Give the gift of fast and reliable connections for all your devices
Our latest Xfinity equipment optimizes your connection across all your devices so that you never experience a lag in performance. It also offers high bandwidth to support hundreds of devices at once, with low latency and packet loss. This means more reliable, high-quality connections for more devices in your home — ideal for large households, smart homes, and lively gatherings.
Keep your network safe for all your devices this season
With more devices online during family visits or gatherings over the holidays, your network is open to more threats from malware, hackers, phishing, and beyond. Our Xfinity Gateways come with Xfinity Advanced Security, which blocks billions of threats per year across our entire network, keeping you safe by monitoring your connected devices in real-time. Through the Xfinity App, you can enable Advanced Security to receive network threat alerts as well as tips on how to address them as they come up. Advanced Security helps protect all kinds of devices connected to your network—from laptops to mobile phones, security cameras, and smart appliances.
Easily share your WiFi with holiday guests
With many Xfinity Gateways, you can easily connect your holiday guests to your WiFi home network. If you have the Xfinity app, you can share your WiFi name and password with a QR code that can be scanned by guests to get connected. You can also send the WiFi network name and password by text message, email, or other supported applications.
Spread coverage and cheer to every room with WiFi Boost Pods
Whether you're hanging stockings in the living room or video chatting with relatives from the basement, our WiFi Boost Pods serve as a WiFi signal extender that helps extend WiFi coverage of your Xfinity equipment to hard-to-reach corners of your house. That way, throughout your home, you have a strong connection for all your holiday needs.
Unwrap up to gig-speed WiFi at home with Xfinity Mobile
With Xfinity’s latest gateway—an all-in-one modem and router — you automatically get speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) directly to your Xfinity Mobile smartphone. That way, when you connect to your Xfinity home WiFi, you will enjoy reliable and now, even faster WiFi, regardless of what internet speed you have from us.
Pause the internet and activate Parental Controls
Want to pause WiFi for bedtime and during holiday meals? Looking to setup a ‘naughty list’ to restrict mature content from kids? When you rent Xfinity equipment, you can set bedtime schedules and Parental Controls so that your kids access age-appropriate content without staying up late in the Xfinity app. And you can pause your internet at any time manually or automatically for devices assigned to different members of your household. This is perfect for scheduling periods of internet-free time and setting healthy boundaries with technology in your home.
Still want to use your own router and modem?
Looking to use your own equipment for your internet? You can check your equipment compatibility before or after you purchase to make sure it works with Xfinity Internet and/or Voice service, and to be sure it supports the speed tier to which you subscribe.
