Comcast has added new security features to the xFi complete modem. These changes include a hardcoded IP address for xFi Gateway. These new features make it easier to block hackers and keep your home network secure. In addition, the xFi complete modem now includes xFi Pods, which extend the range of your Wi-Fi service.
xFi Pods extend the range of your Wi-Fi service
XFi Pods are small devices that extend the range of your Wi-Fi service in your home. They work in conjunction with your Xfinity Wi-Fi Gateway and can boost your service range by up to 2X. Each Pod features a tri-band WiFi radio and two ethernet ports.
Xfinity offers a variety of xFi Pods for your home, and you can extend the range of your Wi-Fi service for free. However, it is important to note that these extenders can only work with modems and routers rented from Comcast. Buying your own router and modem is not recommended. Although Xfinity may provide these pods for free, you’ll still have to pay for renting the router and modem.
Xfinity xFi Pods can be placed anywhere in your home, but they work best when placed midway between your router and any weak signal areas. Comcast and Xfinity customers should check with their providers before purchasing a range extender.
XFi Pods only work with the Xfinity and Comcast xFi gateways. Unlike eero mesh routers, XFi Pods have a tri-band frequency range, which should enable faster speeds. This makes them useful for extending your network range to places where your Wi-Fi signal is weak.
XFi Pods are available for purchase online. Initially, they were sold in packages of three or six, but now, you can buy a single pod or two for your home.
Comcast adds new security features to xFi complete modem
Xfinity subscribers can now enjoy enhanced cybersecurity with the addition of new security features for the xFi complete modem. The company says that this security upgrade will protect them against billions of cyber threats. It will also protect users from cyberattacks when they use their mobile devices outside of their home. The company has also introduced VPN encryption, which prevents unauthorized access to data.
The xFi Complete modem offers faster download and upload speeds. Comcast plans to roll out this feature to customers in the Northeast United States. But the company has not released an exact date. The company is also offering a cheaper xFi Gateway with Wi-Fi 6E. Although the xFi Complete offers a speed boost, customers will still have to pay $25 per month for their broadband service.
XFi complete also has a 2-way audio system and 24-hour recording. It can also be used to monitor the status of your home network. With xFi, you can also manage your wireless network easily with parental controls. The xFi Pods sync with the xFi Complete to provide a greater wireless range throughout your home. It also has built-in security software, XFi Advanced Security, which monitors your connected devices and alerts you to threats.
XFi complete modem subscribers will also have access to new tech upgrades, which will provide a better xFi Advanced Gateway every three years. These new features will be available to existing xFi Complete subscribers over the next few months.
xFi Gateway hardcoded to 10.0.0.1
To access the default gateway of Comcast/Xfinity, log in to your router using the default user name and password for the Comcast/Xfinity network. If you don’t see the default username or password, you need to change it and restart your router. This process may take up to a minute, but will usually solve the problem.
