If you have kids, you can set Parental Controls to help manage what sites and information they have access to on the internet.

Depending on the type of Wireless Gateway you rent from Comcast, you can access Parental Control settings in one of two ways:

1. Through the Xfinity app, from anywhere with an internet connection. xFi is available for Xfinity Internet customers with a compatible xFi Gateway See our Xfinity app overview for more.
2. Through the Wireless Gateway's Admin Tool website at https://comca.st/3pOWdrT using a computer or device that is currently connected to your home network (either wired or wirelessly).
   
   • Note: The Admin Tool website is only available if you have an Xfinity Gateway that isn’t an xFi Gateway. See Overview of Xfinity Gateways for more details about our available Gateway models.

xFi

xFi helps reduce the risk of children accessing age-inappropriate content from their devices using the xFi Parental Controls feature. Additionally, you can pause WiFi access over your home network instantly or during scheduled times with the Pause and Downtime features and set Active Time Limits for profiles on your network.

• To access Parental Controls, Pause and Active Time Limits, open the Xfinity app and sign in with your Xfinity ID and password. See Home Network Customization and Control with xFi for instructions.
• If you've previously set up a device block or a scheduled block for a device from the Wireless Gateway's Admin Tool (https://comca.st/3pOWdrT):
  • For a device block, you'll see the device listed with a Pause icon indicating WiFi access over your home network is already paused. For a scheduled block for a device, you'll be notified that your prior settings will be cleared.

Wireless Gateway Admin Tool

Your Wireless Gateway allows you to block keywords in web addresses and specific sites. You can also control which computers or devices these restrictions apply to.

To set Parental Controls, visit the Wireless Gateway's Admin Tool website at https://comca.st/3pOWdrT. For further instructions, see below.

Remember, you can only use the Admin Tool if you have an Xfinity (non-xFi) Gateway.
