Xfi pods

I have been having issues with my internet speed. As a result we have had a technician come and replace the gateway. Since the last technician visit we noticed that the Xfi pods are not connected. I have restarted the gateway several times and attempted to reconnect the pods but each time it fails. Can I get some assistance in connecting the pods?  I’ve used the Xfinity app each time

user_675df2 I would recommend unplugging your Xfinity (xFi) WiFi Boost Pods from the wall outlet for 24-48 hours. That should disassociate them with your old Xfinity Gateway. Then follow the activation steps in the following article.

user_675df2 Did you get the same Xfinity Gateway model, or a different one?

@user_675df2 Thank you, since we are still awaiting the outside work to be completed, there may be issues that are experienced intermittent. Let's check why the pods are not connecting. What step in the connection do you experience issues? Are they showing up for you in the Xfinity app at all?

They don’t show up on the Xfinity app.  The app attempts to connect then indicates ‘try again’
