Whole Home WiFi evaluates your network performance to help ensure the most WiFi coverage throughout the home. This article provides information on how to begin the Whole Home WiFi evaluation as well as the next steps to take once it’s complete.
Whole Home WiFi Evaluation
- You should connect all your WiFi-enabled devices as soon as possible following activation of your xFi Gateway.
- If you're an existing customer who signs up for xFi Complete but currently has an ineligible Gateway, you'll be sent an eligible xFi Gateway.
- The evaluation will begin when the new xFi Gateway is activated.
- You’ll receive an email highlighting the benefits of xFi Complete and notifying you that the Whole Home WiFi evaluation has begun within one day of activating the Gateway.
- After the initial 14-day assessment period, you’ll receive additional emails with information about your xFi network performance.
- You may receive recommendations to further optimize your network.
- After the Whole Home evaluation is complete, the results are sent to the primary email address on file.
