See step-by-step instructions on   Activating Your Xfinity Internet Service. Before setting up Xfinity Flex, make sure you can connect to your home Xfinity Internet network (either WiFi or wired with Ethernet cable) through a desktop or mobile device. Connect the HDMI cable from your TV to the TV Box. Turn on your TV and choose the correct HDMI input. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet and connect the other end to the USB-C port on the box. Once the power indicator lights up, you’re ready to go! Only use the supplied power adapter, and avoid outlets controlled by dimmers. Remove the plastic tab from the back of the remote, aim it toward the box and wait for on-screen instructions.   Power on the device.   Select your language.   If you have an Xfinity Gateway, your device will try to automatically connect to your WiFi. If you'd like to set up your connection manually, press the   Info   (i) button on your Xfinity Remote.   If your box can’t connect automatically, you can manually connect using one of three options:   Enter your WiFi network password.   Use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) pairing.   Use an Ethernet cable.   Enter the last four digits of the phone number listed on your Xfinity account.   Create or choose a name for your TV Box.   Your device will automatically optimize for sound and HD video.   Set up your Voice Remote.   At this point in the activation process, if your Internet connection hasn't been fully established, you may be asked to connect to WiFi.

Activation Troubleshooting If you're having trouble activating your Flex streaming TV box, the most common solution is to restart it by reconnecting your USB-C power cord and HDMI cable to both the box and TV. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet. Restarting your modem can fix many common Internet-related issues. You can also try to connect with a wired Ethernet cable to check if the issue is with your WiFi connection. If you're having network connection issues or need to reestablish your network connection, you can press the   WPS button   (two arrows icon) on the bottom of the TV Box. Until you're able to complete your Voice Remote pairing, make sure you point your remote directly towards the front of the TV Box.
