All Getting Started Kits include installation and activation information. You can find this in your Xfinity folder.
Activate Your Equipment Using an App
If you’re activating Xfinity xFi Pods or an Xfinity xFi Gateway (with the exception of the xFi Fiber Gateway, Arris X5001), you can use the Xfinity app for easy activation. After setup, you can use the Xfinity app for management of your home network. To determine the type of Gateway you have, check the make and model information located on the bottom of your device. You can also sign in to My Account and select Devices.
- Download the Xfinity app for free from Google Play or the App Store.
- Sign in using your Xfinity ID and password. If you don’t have one, you can create one from the sign-in page.
- Note: If you’re activating a Gateway, you might be prompted to start the activation as soon as you sign-in. If you aren’t prompted, proceed to step 3.
- Once you're signed in, select the Account icon from the top-left corner of the Overview tab on the Xfinity app.
- Select Activate xFi Gateway or Modem under the Devices section.
