This document provides step-by-step instructions on how you can activate your xFi Pods using the Xfinity xFi
app for mobile devices.
If you have additional questions about xFi Pods, please refer to our frequently asked questions.
Note: Your xFi Gateway must be activated before you can set up your xFi Pods. Pods activation requires a
supported mobile operating system; please see how to get started with Xfinity xFi for details.
Before Activating Your xFi Pods
1. Download the Xfinity xFi mobile app free of charge from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Decide where you would like to place your Pods. To ensure the best signal and performance, please ensure that Pods are visible
and not blocked by furniture or other large objects.
Setting Requirements
When you activate your xFi Pods, you may be prompted to make any of the below changes to your settings, if they are required.
Note: If you make any changes to your WiFi network name or password, certain WiFi-based devices in your home may prompt you to
enter in the new name/password before using the device.
One WiFi network name and password (i.e., you cannot have a separate WiFi network name and password for your 2.4 and
5 GHz radio bands). Your network still has both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. This allows your Gateway to sort out
the best connection at any given time for your devices.
A password to join your WiFi network (i.e., your WiFi Security Mode setting must be password-protected).
An enabled and broadcasting WiFi network (i.e., your WiFi network cannot be disabled through the Gateway's Admin Tool
(10.0.0.1)).
