Illegal to damage some company’s equipment.

I've paid for Xfinity internet for the past five years, I pay for 100mbps and it's never above 30mbps unless I call and complain, then it's around 100mbps for a day or 2, and back to 30. I've called about this no less than a dozen times over the past 2 years... and the last two times they scheduled a technician to come out where I had to be home for a 2-3 hour window, and both times the technician didn't show up, didn't call, didn't care. Comcast is the most awful atrocity of customer service on the planet. Last time I spoke with them, their suggestion was that I pay more for faster speeds and lock into a 3 year contract with them. Why would I pay for faster speeds when you only give me 33% of the speed I'm currently paying for?

Can you confirm with Comcast that they have turned on the service at your new location? I would also make sure the coax cable is tightly connected to the modem. Otherwise, if nothing works after about a day or two, you may need to have a Comcast tech sent out to troubleshoot the problem.

@lamaggie1088

@rafabessaLA I ended up calling Comcast. They had already turned on WiFi at the new location, they had to replace the cable from wall.

Good advice however they ask you to set up an app- to connect-is this always needed plus why was the yellow cord in the box? I’m just needing pc connection-thanks.

@klee9016

Your question is a year old so I'm fairly sure you've figured things out by now so I'm replying to your excellent questions for new people to read the comments. If you need just PC connection and it's stationary, you'll likely want to use the Ethernet (yellow) cord as it will be faster (in my experience) than WiFi. On WHY the Ethernet cable is in the box ...many people have computers and printers that operate on 2.4 and are way too slow to connect (well) to WiFi. I ALWAYS keep my primary puter hard wired to modem and printer wired to puter. They WILL work independently but not reliably PLUS better to free WiFi signal as every device on it slows it down. I can't quite figure out why a lot of people are complaining about something that IS in the box than what ISN'T in the box...the battery backup.

All blinking but online signal ? What am i doing wrong, no wifi signal?

Its an old gateway. You should move to Xb 6 or Xb 7 & If you have 1.2 gigabit Speed then you are qualified for Xb 8 gateway which is the most advanced gateway of Xfinity.

Are we using the same wall oulet as Cable TV ? Why this Gateway (Modem+ router) can't be hooked up to the phone-internet outlet to get the signals like our AT&T router does, now switching from AT&T to Xfinity confusing to me , I got the Equipment which looks like used but I am afraid the coax oulet got no signal , because it is cut off in the backyard somewhere ☹️ thanks !

If it’s cut in the backyard or you don’t see the signals, you will have to call xfinity and they will have to send a tech out to fix that. The tech will also help you set up the router as well. In most cases the tech visit is free.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it is a WPS button. It is a button you push which can allow you to connect your wifi devices with just the push of a button. Its convenient, but is a security risk as the protocol behind it is inherently flawed so its not really to be used anymore.

I need help..I had recently bought one of these routers, i had set up the whole internet and connected it to my tv and laptop, it is telling me.."Secured, No Internet" but everything is plugged in..the wifi is not working but it is already paid and i recently gotten it about 2 weeks ago and only got it set up a few days ago.

Yeah, try smoke signals... 2 puffs means you want to connect 🤓Sorry, I shouldn't poke fun... if it makes you feel better, there are a ton of people on this channel that I saw just as mystified. To answer your question, you do NOT need cable to get on the internet. You WILL need some kind of connection though. Cable is about the fastest and most stable connection for a residential house or apartment. DSL modems are pretty fast too and they can hook into basic telephone jacks. DSL can't really compare to cable, though. A fast and stable connection is EXTREMELY important today. Twenty years ago a 9600 baud modem would get you through the day... not anymore! You hook one of those antiques up and you'll sit in front of your computer for a half an hour waiting for a simple webpage to load... and God forbid you wander into a page with some video! In that situation expect your browser to crash. It wouldn't be to cool to point out a bunch of hurdles if I didn't have some form of solution. My suggestion would be for you to take a laptop or tablet to an internet cafe. It's a great place to hang out, the people behind the counter will almost always help you get online if you're new to the armchair sport and while you're soaking up that vat of knowledge from the local geeks, you can get on the outside of a burger and fries. Hope this helped! Have fun and Good Luck!!!

That outlet actually connects your router to the outside xfinity box via a cable. So if you need to move the router in a different room, you will need a similar outlet in that room. And for that, I’m pretty sure xfinity tech would need to come out to do that.
