About Your Wireless Gateway

The XFINITY Wireless Gateway is your all-in-one device that connects your Internet, phone, and home
networking. It provides WiFi connectivity for your home, so there's no need for a separate wireless router.
Here's what you get when you subscribe to both XFINITY Voice and Internet services:
•
WiFi Access — WiFi uses radio frequency to connect computers and other devices to a network
without wires. Your Wireless Gateway can connect to b/g/n clients simultaneously.
•
Fast Download Speed — Your Wireless Gateway is DOCSIS 3.0 compliant with speeds up to eight
times faster than DOCSIS 2.0 cable modems.
•
Easy Connectivity — Connect any WPS-compatible computer or device with just one button.
•
Security — Because WiFi networks send information over radio waves, signals from your wireless
network can be intercepted by unauthorized users. Use the simple Home Network Wizard to securely
set up your WiFi broadband connection for WiFi enabled devices.
•
Convenience — Simultaneously use four Ethernet ports for wired devices and 802.11b/g/n connectivity
for wireless devices. Choice between wireless LAN (WLAN) or wired Ethernet LAN connections.
•
Flexibility — Ability to support two lines of telephone service, as well as high-speed data; the ability to
use your existing router with your Wireless Gateway.
•
Battery Back-up — Lithium Ion battery back-up (up to 5 hours talk time and 8 hours standby time).
Note: Battery back-up is only available if you subscribe to XFINITY Voice service.
•
Advanced Features — Advanced routing features of the Wireless Gateway include:
• Parental Controls
• WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
• Firewall
• Port Forwarding & Blocking
Note: If you haven't already done so, please activate both XFINITY Voice and Internet
services if you subscribe to both, or just XFINITY Internet services if you subscribe
only to high-speed data services. Refer to the user guide you received with each of
these services for activation instructions and information about XFINITY Voice and
Internet features.
