3 Connect

Access the WiFi settings on your personal device. Then, select the Network Name
(SSID) from your Gateway noted in Step 1 and join using the password from Step 1.
If you're asked to enter a PIN, select "Connect Using a Security Key" and enter the
same password from Step 1.
Connect with Ethernet
If you do not have a WiFi-capable device or if you prefer an Ethernet connection,
plug one end of the provided Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on your Gateway
and the other end into the port on your computer. If this worked, the LEDs next to
the Ethernet ports on your Gateway will light up.

4 Activate

Once connected, if you're not automatically directed to a setup screen, open a web
browser and go to xfinity.com/activate. Follow the steps to verify your account
and set up your WiFi network. After setup is complete, go to WiFi settings on your
device, wait to see your personalized WiFi name listed and join using your password
(you can skip this step if you connected with Ethernet).
If you're using a Battery Backup, refer to the steps in that guide once your
Gateway is activated.

Xfinity Home Customers

After your Gateway is up and running, confirm that your Xfinity Home service
is working by completing a Connectivity Test. Just go to your Xfinity Home
Touchscreen and select Settings > Advanced Settings > Connectivity. If the
Broadband Connectivity test fails, please re-boot and run the test again. To re-boot
go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Reboot Touchscreen.

What is the button on the top left of my modem?

The button on the top of the Comcast xFi Advanced Gateway modem (XB6) is a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button. It is used to help connect compatible devices to the Wi-Fi network without entering a password. However, if the button does not respond or blinks red, it may be disabled.
