Activate Your Equipment Utilizing an Application

Activating Xfinity xFi Pods or an Xfinity xFi Gateway (with the exception of the xFi Fiber Gateway, Arris X5001) is made simple using the Xfinity app. After installation, the Xfinity app can be used to manage your home network. Check the manufacturer and model number on the bottom of your device to establish which sort of Gateway you have. Additionally, you can log in to My Account and select Devices.

  1. Download the free Xfinity app from Google Play or the App Store.
  2. Enter your Xfinity ID and password to log in. If you don’t already have one, you can make one on the sign-in page. Please keep in mind that if you’re activating a Gateway, you may be prompted to begin the activation as soon as you login in. If you are not prompted, continue to step 3.
  3. Once you’ve signed in, tap the Account icon in the top-left corner of the Xfinity app’s Overview tab.
  4. Under the Devices section, select Activate xFi Gateway or Modem.
  5. Select Activate xFi Pods under the Devices section if you’re activating xFi Pods. Please keep in mind that you can also begin the activation of a Flex TV Streaming Box via the Xfinity app. See Xfinity Flex Activation Process Overview for more information.
