ANSWERED: How to fix your Xfinity Internet connection using the Xfinity My Account App

​Is your Internet not working? You can check its status, try to fix it yourself or request a call back from one of our agents for help - all on the Xfinity My Account app on your mobile device.​

​Download the App​

​First, download the Xfinity My Account app for​​ ​​Apple​​ ​​or​​ ​​Android​​, and sign in using your Xfinity ID and password.​

​Restart Your Device (Gateway/Modem)​

​Restarting your modem can fix a lot of common problems.​

  1. ​When you open the app, tap​​ ​​Internet​​ ​​on the​​ ​​Overview​​ ​​screen.​

  2. ​Choose the device that has technical issues.​
    Devices option on the middle of the screen.

  4. ​It’ll take five to seven minutes to scan your system, restart your modem and check its performance. Tap​​ ​​Start Troubleshooting​​ ​​to start the scan.​
    Troubleshooting screen with Start Troubleshooting option on the bottom.
  5. ​We’ll connect to your device for the scan.​
  6. ​You’ll see the message: "Restarting your device should take less than 10 minutes. This will not erase any of your settings or change your Wi-Fi name or password. If you have XFINITY Voice, we won't restart until all in-progress calls are finished." Confirm that you’d like to restart by tapping​​ ​​Restart Device​​.​
