Question   My Comcast Internet services were just installed, how do I find my WiFi network?     Answer   The following instructions are for Xfinity Wireless Gateways only. If you use an approved third-party modem or router for your Internet services, please refer to its user manual.   Your Xfinity Gateway comes with a default WiFi network name and password. If you have never personalized your WiFi network name and password, you can retrieve your default WiFi information on the side or bottom panel of your Gateway:     If you change your password from default settings (strongly recommended), you can access the information several ways: Xfinity My Account Online Xfinity My Account App for Mobile Devices Xfinity xFi X1 TV Box (View Only) Xfinity Wireless Gateway Admin Tool Any time you change a WiFi name or password, you must reconnect all your WiFi-enabled devices by entering the updated network name and password under the device's WiFi settings. **Note**:   Xfinity Gateways provide dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) functionality and the ability to broadcast two networks. If you have an xFi Gateway (Arris 1682G, Cisco 3941T, Arris 3482G, Technicolor CGM4140COM, Cisco DPC3939 or Arris X5001), we strongly recommend using the   same network name and password for both bands. Doing so allows the device to optimize network traffic and improve connectivity. Xfinity My Account Online To access your WiFi information via My Account using a web browser your desktop, laptop or mobile device: Log into   My Account If you do not remember your Xfinity username and password, please   reset your password. Click   Settings   on the top of the page. (You can also click   Manage Settings   on the right-hand side or scroll down and select the   Manage Internet   tile.) Click   WiFi Network & Password. Click   Edit. From here you can change your WiFi network's name and password. Xfinity My Account App for Mobile Devices The Xfinity My Account app for mobile devices allows you to manage your Xfinity services and account settings on-the-go. Download for Apple devices Download for Android devices Log into the Xfinity My Account app. Click   Internet   on the bottom navigational menu. Click on the image of the individual Gateway you wish to edit. Click   Show WiFi settings   to view your WiFi information. Click   Change WiFi Settings   to modify these settings. If you have created an xFi account to manage your home WiFi, you will be directed to the   xFi portal.     Xfinity xFi xFi provides Xfinity customers the ability to personalize and control their home WiFi experience.

X1 TV Box (View Only) For xFi Users If you have created an xFi account, the X1 TV Box offers perhaps the fastest way to access your WiFi network name and password. Using the X1 Voice Remote, press the microphone button and ask, "What's my WiFi password?" or "What is my WiFi information?" The password(s) and network name(s) will appear on the screen. You can also access your WiFi information via X1 TV Box's menu. Press the   xfinity   button on your remote control and select the   Apps   icon.

Scroll down in the menu and select   Help. Scroll to the right and select the   WiFi tile   located under the   Troubleshooting   section. Your WiFi network name(s) and password will be displayed. Xfinity Wireless Gateway Admin Tool While many find that My Account, xFi and X1 are their preferred tools for accessing WiFi information, you may also wish to use the Xfinity Admin Tool if you are a more advanced user. Connect a laptop, computer or mobile device to your home Internet network either by WiFi or an Ethernet cable that is connected directly to your Wireless Gateway. Open a web browser and go to the Admin Tool (http://10.0.0.1). This is the wireless gateway's administration site. The default settings to access the Admin Tool are: Username: admin Password: password (case-sensitive) Click   Login. **Note**:   If you previously changed your Admin Tool password, you will need to use your new login information. If you don't remember your Admin Tool password, you will need to factory reset your Wireless Gateway. On the left navigation menu, select   Gateway, then   Connection   and then   WiFi. Under Private WiFi Network, you'll see the Name (SSID) of your WiFi network. Click Edit. If two network names display, click edit for both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands to view each band's settings. Check the box next to   Show Network Password   and the password will be displayed. After making changes, click   Save Settings.   How to Find Your WiFi Information on an Approved Modem and/or Router If you don't have an Xfinity Wireless Gateway but use an approved modem and/or router with your Xfinity Internet service, you can retrieve your WiFi network name and password by consulting your equipment manufacturer's user manual.
