Apr 27, 2019 xFi protection is the most amazingly powerful easy to use WiFi security app. I’ve always been skeptical about using my WiFi do to Securiity threats. Now with xFi I can enjoy my high speed WiFi connection with amazing security features at ease. xFi is very easy to use with understanding instructions. With xFi I was able to instantly get protected. Most of all I’m able to see who’s on my WiFi. I had no clue anyone with Little knowledge could steal your WiFi and use it to read your private information even use your internet data at your expense. I had about 6 threats removed from my WiFi connection literally 10 seconds after installing xFi security app. I’m now able to see who’s on and off my WiFi. Now I can stop any unknown phone, laptop, computer most of all spy technology and more at a push of a button. With xFi security I can now speed up my WiFi connection also run a connection test on any device. There’s easy to use troubleshooting for any device having trouble connecting to your WiFi. xFi has much more features to get that stress of being hacked off your shoulders. It’s a must have security app. I recommend anyone having troubles or not having any troubles to prevent any threats and all to install xFi security app. This amazing security app from xFi is a huge relief to me and my family. Thank you xFi for a job well done. Regards Mr. Santiagomore -
When I am connected everything is great
Oct 6, 2019 I received a letter saying my current box as having problems ( I didn’t notice any- and it’s probably less than a year old), and that you were sending a new one. Well I got it and installed it per the instructions on the app- easy btw- it seemed to work. At first it looked like it was working, but the phone wouldn’t connect, and the internet light wasn’t on. Later on in the day we couldn’t connect our devices to the network, so I restarted it, and then reinstalled it. I reinstalled it again in the evening. The app told me it couldn’t connect to restart, so I just reinstalled it as a new device. The next day - no problem. Then around 5:30 the kids told me the internet wasn’t working. Sure enough the app wouldn’t connect. When I finally got to log in, I reinstalled again. So far, so good. I am hesitant to return the old box. Trouble shooting did not work during this process. I will go to the physical store this week. Maybe someone there has a solution. ☹️more -
Nov 20, 2020 I love how you can keep track of who uses your internet, with what device and how long they're on it any day, of any month. I really like how I can pause and unpause their device from anywhere by using my phone. You can put your family members in a list and you can group the devices they use under them so whenever you log in, it will tell you stats on them and will tell you a lot! Love this App.more -
Amazing Customer Service
Mar 27, 2020 Thank you for taking a huge burden off my shoulders. I sent in a review through my account app in communication as well. I will say it again. We are living in very uncertain times right now because of Covid 19 and I work in the essential business category. Home internet is a imperative for me me in the evening when I get home. I tried for 5 days with AT&T to get connected and they never answered me thru phone or email. I have been horribly stressed out about this. All they had was a recording that said no one was available to take my call. I understand these are bad times, but corporate AT&T sent me my internet connection in 2 days, no problem. They were not there when I had connection problems..... nobody.....was there. Xfinity Comcast sent me my internet within 2 days as well BUT today I was able to call and connect. Your awesome customer service Rep that answered the phone stayed with me through all of my connection issues. It wasn’t simple but he said we would get it done tonight and he did. I wish I could remember his name. He deserves kudos for being a really awesome team member. I can now continue my role in the “essential business” world during this Coronavirus pandemic. Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!! Alexia Woodgatemore -

Like always, Comcast Support cannot properly explain...more

Nov 24, 2020 I used to Love this app. Until this newest update. Now every time I try to use it to adjust my kids internet time, it crashes after saying my router isn't connected. Yet it is with 3 other devices connected and working just fine. Very disappointed and frustrated.more -
Nov 21, 2020 The potential for this app is great and it has been somewhat useful for me in the past. However, it is very slow to load, logs me out then crashes when I try to log back in, only sends a push notification when someone accesses my wifi but doesn't block them and you cant forget a device until they are not using their device which means I can't stop someone from stealing my wifi until they decide to stop using it. I would have to change my password and redo every device in my house.more -
Okay. Could be better. Please add a data usage feature.
Jul 25, 2019 So, this app is great for being able to change wi-fi settings in your xfinity modem/router. But, at times it seems like when I apply new settings things can get chaotic. Such as the wifi restarting itself and the settings not applying. Now my biggest complaint is within the app you can see how much "usage" everyone has been doing on the internet. Now when I say usage I mean, how much time everyones spent using the internet. I'd much rather be able to see just how much data everyone has been using or how much each device is using in data because of Comcasts new 1000 gigabyte internet plans. Going over the 1000 gigs you have to pay an extra $10 for another 50 gigabytes. So instead of knowing how much everyone's using the internet, you get to see the amount of "usage" or who's been using the internet more which doesn't help because someone could just be we surfing but be on the longest and show up as the one who's using the internet the most. So please, PLEASE, add a feature that allows you to see just how much each person or each device on your network is using so you can keep track of who's using to much data and so you don't go over your restricting 1000gb bandwidth limit and charge your loyal customers more. But Comcast/xfinity usually only seems to be about the money these days.more -
Nov 12, 2020 Worthless. Returning and getting money back. Signed up for service and was sent a self-install kit. Modem won't activate. Checked the line from the modem to the junction box on the side of the house- line check is good. They aren't willing to fix their line without involving me and charging me a fee. Will return and chargeback any monies they tried to steal from me.more -
Can’t access any of the main menu features on the app
Sep 9, 2020 It’s very irritating that the app refuses to exit out of the virtual chat when I open it. I’ve been having connectivity issues with my WiFi and xfinity isn’t able to do a thing every time I call. They make it virtually impossible to talk to an actual representative and when you’re finally able to get in touch with someone they blame it on a local power outage and they give you a time frame when it should come back up. Mind you that I was told 4 different time frames each time I was able to “chat” with someone and that I would receive a text and call for when the internet would come back up. It’s been almost 2 days since my internet has apparently been down with a supposed timeframe that it would be up by the end of the first day and no such text has arrived. The only way I have somewhat of a connection is if I restart the gateway from xFi app. It gives me internet for a few hours give or take before I have to do it again. However when I click on the app to restart the gateway, I can’t access the main menu or any settings on the app because when I open it, it forces me to either activate a new gateway ,speak with the virtual robot, or sign out. There’s no way for me to exit out of these options. Please fix this issue at least because you can’t even resolve an internet issue.more

Assistance with new modem activation
Aug 15, 2019 After much disappointing WiFi service and speed in my home, it was suggested to swap in my modem at one of the Xfinity’s stores for another which I did yesterday afternoon. By evening, I did not have things right because nothing was working and now, no phone line active. I elected to “chat” for help (now 10pm) and was connected to a tech savvy person, Prathamesh. Thank goodness! What a kind and patient employee who started the process of getting me activated. After an hour, I lost Prathamesh from the several browser drops and had hoped it would get resolved. By the time I finished my evening, I went back to check the modem and I was fully up and running!!! I was thrilled and so grateful to Prathamesh for continuing on and completing the process for me! I commend and kudos to Comcast/Infinity for having such an outstanding and totally Customer Service oriented employee in your company! It has turned my opinion of the Customer Service Dept around. Because of Prathamesh, I will continue to be one of Comcast/Xfinity’s customers. Thank you, Cherie Alleymore -
Nov 11, 2020 Love being able to pause devices. Also love asking a question and getting an answer. If you have trouble using this app, you may not be using it right. Initially I left a bad review because I didn't know all I should have pertaining to access to getting information. But, the assistant will answer all asked questions about your service.more

Nov 19, 2020 The app is simple and easy to use. I like that there are deals and packages offered. I also moved recently so I assumed that the process of calling Xfinity and getting my service moved to the new address were I was moving was gonna be frustrating and time consuming. It was actually so easier than I expected. I did it all on my phone. Never had to call anyone to give my information and not even to guide me through the set up at the new address. I completely did it all myself with just my android.more -
Nov 20, 2020 Improved! They updated the app and it seems to be running much smoother. I use it multiple times a day to keep my kids on task with school and such. It's fairly easy to set up schedules and I get notifications when their time is up. The only weird thing lately is how the time change messed with the settings.more -
Nov 8, 2020 Everything works perfect for me! I can turn off the wifi at any given time on any selected item. Great for my young house gamers who try and stay up all night gaming! Dad has one up on them! And they FINALLY added motion notifications for the security cameras! You can set it to notify you thru text message for people, cars, animals or all three. I still wish the camera had 2-way communication though! You can hear thru the camera but can't talk thru it and because of that I only gave it 4 stars.more -
Nov 22, 2020 Its a good app overall, I rarely have issues with the app or services through the app. I use Downtime a lot to control my children's devices and what time it cuts their wifi off. It's only ever shown "in downtime" but still allowing route to the devices à couple of times since I have had the services (7 months).more

Features in app
Oct 29, 2020 Love the app overall. Bug fixes needed. I tried to use the app to let them know there are bugs but the computer assistants doesn’t want to let me. 1.bug: I pause a device or group of them but within 24 they are unpaused again. Tried then to set time limits but each day is different so this doesn’t help. 2.bug. They have been able to unconnected on their device and they reconnect to the 2nd line and get on even though I paused them. (Sneaky 9 yr olds.) 3. No a bug but needed. I want to be able to have my kids earn their time so instead of a set limit I wish I could set a timer. You earned 1 hr. If you just keep changing the quantity of time they get you can do this but it is a hassle. I will update review if they fix the pause feature so it doesn’t reset everyday. This would move it up to a 4 of 5 star because I really do love the app. It makes me a witchy mom but school comes first not everything else. I can shut everything down or school and work wouldn’t go on. We have on average around 40-60 devices going at a time and they seem to keep up. (Work involves finding bugs on devices) That’s an average of 3.5 devices per person. If I can shut some down and keep them down then our usage goes to others. Thank witchy mom.more -
Want more freedom on....
Apr 4, 2018 I love the app. But I gave it three stars because it only lets you set the sleep time for pre-adjusted times. I’m not able to set my own sleep and wake times. Which would be very, very useful if I could. Like for example with the pre-adjusted time I have the Wi-Fi paused at 9:30pmand I can only have turned back on all the way up to 8:30am. I would like to be able to set my own sleep and wake time. Like for instance I have my children’s Wi-Fi paused at 9:30 PM and I would like to have it un-paused at 5:00pm the next day. Because my room is on the other side of the house so I have the Wi-Fi paused at 9:30pm to make sure my children are not getting on their games, phones etc. after I go to bed. In the mornings my children get up and go to school. Well sometimes I’m not always home when they get home from school. They know they are to do their homework before playing on the games, phones etc. but as anyone should know any teenager is not going to follow through on what they are supposed to do especially when a parent is not home to make sure they do as their told. That’s why I would like to be able to set the sleep and wake time as to what fits my lifestyle.more -
Nov 12, 2020 Great service, fast internet. BUT... There billing pisses me off! I got email today that i owed 2 months. Todays bill, and next month bill. I panicked thinking i owed almost 300 dollars. But only 1 month is due. Next bill isnt until halfway through December!! Why send 2 months bill at once, ridiculous! This happens every bill. But u forget by the next time its due.I think they do it on purpose to scare u into paying ahead. Bcz no one wants there internet suspendedmore -
Love the control but internet drops a lot
Aug 18, 2018 We love the control you have with the new xfinity app and WiFi. Being able to set time limits on specific devices or turn off a device is great. Also being able to see how much someone is on a device is a great feature. The problem is more with the internet itself. It drops for no apparent reason for a few minutes here and there and this seems to happen daily. Comcast says it’s when the system runs an update but it’s at different times of the day sometimes multiple times a day. We’ve purchased their pods to try to extend the WiFi throughout the house as they recommended. We even exchanged our router twice at their suggestion but nothing seems to help. The WiFi speed is phenomenal; we are able to have 6 devices connected at the same time with no problems other than when the WiFi decides to drop. It’s usually back up in 10 or 15 minutes but the drops are really frustrating when trying to be on a webinar for work and all of a sudden your internet drops!!more

Nov 21, 2020 Not all that great, it says something in the house is open for attacks but it doesn't say which item needs attention. I've checked everything, including the Roomba and I can't figure out the threat it keep telling me I get. Needs to be a little more precise.more -
Nov 13, 2020 This app worked fine until we upgraded to a newer router. Now im unable to delete any of my port forwards. It just keeps telling me to try again later or restart the gateway, neither of which have worked. Edit: I think our router upgrade coincided with an app update. Now im unable to pause devices as well. This app has become practically useless for the time being with all these bugs.more

Horrible internet issues
Jun 15, 2020 Update: I posted the below email and got a response to go to a forum with a link for more help and when I try to click on that or copy the link it is impossible to do so. Seems to be another way Comcast just messes with you. Thanks again!!! I have been paying for the highest speed of Internet, and for the last seven months have continually had intermittent Internet connectivity, which is even more frustrating now that we are all working from home as we get constantly kicked off of our VPN. I have spent over eight hours talking to Comcast people on the phone and through their stupid chat line, and have yet to get any resolution. They make it so difficult for you to troubleshoot and speak to anyone to get the problem fixed, that you end up just getting frustrated and giving up. I am not giving up, but I am so frustrated and I’m looking for other Internet services other than Comcast. In a society where customer service is the most important thing that we produce these days, this company has absolutely no idea what they are doing, and have done everything in their power to make it difficult to receive any customer service. Comcast if I could give you zero stars I would!!!more
What’s Groovy
Nice to be able to see culprits in heavy usage or for investigating ones whom stream while away forgetting to turn off... has parental control that seems,risk-wise, up to date and blocks sites we dont want kids having access to. Also, has feature of bedtime mode timer to pause wifi for a specific user and their device(s) at a start or bedtime and WiFi access is paused until the time you set as a wake up. A similar feature to this would be helpful as work and school, so it could be set to shut off when your kid accidentally (and continues) stays streaming even though at school or a forgetful adult while at work...be nice to have many, and not just one timer,to pause WiFi for things other than for only sleep— times that you know you won’t need access to WiFi as I feel this would help conserve many bites of usage but I assume xfinity will NOT do this as forgetfulness is a nice revenue builder and greed will not allow until competition (still waiting!!) Offers more Timers as switch bait and then Comcast will, as always, try to work backwards leaving too bad taste a taste and a reputation smoldering in ash. Someday, if not burnt from the rear, they’ll work out front but until a viable competitor emerges we go by
Unchallenged and non competed against policies built for —only—revenue minded near sighted retirement and bonus lining of pockets running the show.

What’s Subpar
Used to be fine. Now cannot connect to the app with out getting sent to a chat window for an issue that does not appear to actually be present. Basically locked out of all features because it is forcing me to a chat to troubleshoot. Also, chat feature appears bugged as the window does not raise above keyboard so all messages are typed blindly into the chat window.

xFi protection is the most amazingly powerful easy to use WiFi security app. I’ve always been skeptical about using my WiFi do to Securiity threats. Now with xFi I can enjoy my high speed WiFi connection with amazing security features at ease. xFi is very easy to use with understanding instructions. With xFi I was able to instantly get protected. Most of all I’m able to see who’s on my WiFi. I had no clue anyone with Little knowledge could steal your WiFi and use it to read your private information even use your internet data at your expense. I had about 6 threats removed from my WiFi connection literally 10 seconds after installing xFi security app. I’m now able to see who’s on and off my WiFi. Now I can stop any unknown phone, laptop, computer most of all spy technology and more at a push of a button. With xFi security I can now speed up my WiFi connection also run a connection test on any device. There’s easy to use troubleshooting for any device having trouble connecting to your WiFi. xFi has much more features to get that stress of being hacked off your shoulders. It’s a must have security app. I recommend anyone having troubles or not having any troubles to prevent any threats and all to install xFi security app. This amazing security app from xFi is a huge relief to me and my family. Thank you xFi for a job well done. Regards Mr. Santiago -

I will go to the physical store this week. Maybe someone there has a solution. ☹️ -
I love how you can keep track of who uses your internet, with what device and how long they're on it any day, of any month. I really like how I can pause and unpause their device from anywhere by using my phone. You can put your family members in a list and you can group the devices they use under them so whenever you log in, it will tell you stats on them and will tell you a lot! Love this App.

Amazing Customer Service
Thank you for taking a huge burden off my shoulders. I sent in a review through my account app in communication as well. I will say it again. We are living in very uncertain times right now because of Covid 19 and I work in the essential business category. Home internet is a imperative for me me in the evening when I get home. I tried for 5 days with AT&T to get connected and they never answered me thru phone or email. I have been horribly stressed out about this. All they had was a recording that said no one was available to take my call. I understand these are bad times, but corporate AT&T sent me my internet connection in 2 days, no problem. They were not there when I had connection problems..... nobody.....was there. Xfinity Comcast sent me my internet within 2 days as well BUT today I was able to call and connect. Your awesome customer service Rep that answered the phone stayed with me through all of my connection issues. It wasn’t simple but he said we would get it done tonight and he did. I wish I could remember his name. He deserves kudos for being a really awesome team member. I can now continue my role in the “essential business” world during this Coronavirus pandemic. Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!! Alexia Woodgate -
I read this app is responsible of the 10xxx254 mistery dhcp ip... It has a bunch of permission that I dont understand what for. Recently, upon restarting my router, it detects the Router like another device "Device TGArris has been connected to the network for first time" right now it says the device (router) is not connected whe I having it on of course and I am using the WiFi on my phone to write this review.. Like always, Comcast Support cannot properly explain...

The app is simple and easy to use. I like that there are deals and packages offered. I also moved recently so I assumed that the process of calling Xfinity and getting my service moved to the new address were I was moving was gonna be frustrating and time consuming. It was actually so easier than I expected. I did it all on my phone. Never had to call anyone to give my information and not even to guide me through the set up at the new address. I completely did it all myself with just my android.

Features in app
Love the app overall. Bug fixes needed. I tried to use the app to let them know there are bugs but the computer assistants doesn’t want to let me. 1.bug: I pause a device or group of them but within 24 they are unpaused again. Tried then to set time limits but each day is different so this doesn’t help. 2.bug. They have been able to unconnected on their device and they reconnect to the 2nd line and get on even though I paused them. (Sneaky 9 yr olds.) 3. No a bug but needed. I want to be able to have my kids earn their time so instead of a set limit I wish I could set a timer. You earned 1 hr. If you just keep changing the quantity of time they get you can do this but it is a hassle. I will update review if they fix the pause feature so it doesn’t reset everyday. This would move it up to a 4 of 5 star because I really do love the app. It makes me a witchy mom but school comes first not everything else. I can shut everything down or school and work wouldn’t go on. We have on average around 40-60 devices going at a time and they seem to keep up. (Work involves finding bugs on devices) That’s an average of 3.5 devices per person. If I can shut some down and keep them down then our usage goes to others. Thank witchy mom. -
Want more freedom on....
I love the app. But I gave it three stars because it only lets you set the sleep time for pre-adjusted times. I’m not able to set my own sleep and wake times. Which would be very, very useful if I could. Like for example with the pre-adjusted time I have the Wi-Fi paused at 9:30pmand I can only have turned back on all the way up to 8:30am. I would like to be able to set my own sleep and wake time. Like for instance I have my children’s Wi-Fi paused at 9:30 PM and I would like to have it un-paused at 5:00pm the next day. Because my room is on the other side of the house so I have the Wi-Fi paused at 9:30pm to make sure my children are not getting on their games, phones etc. after I go to bed. In the mornings my children get up and go to school. Well sometimes I’m not always home when they get home from school. They know they are to do their homework before playing on the games, phones etc. but as anyone should know any teenager is not going to follow through on what they are supposed to do especially when a parent is not home to make sure they do as their told. That’s why I would like to be able to set the sleep and wake time as to what fits my lifestyle. -
Great service, fast internet. BUT... There billing pisses me off! I got email today that i owed 2 months. Todays bill, and next month bill. I panicked thinking i owed almost 300 dollars. But only 1 month is due. Next bill isnt until halfway through December!! Why send 2 months bill at once, ridiculous! This happens every bill. But u forget by the next time its due.I think they do it on purpose to scare u into paying ahead. Bcz no one wants there internet suspended

Assistance with new modem activation
After much disappointing WiFi service and speed in my home, it was suggested to swap in my modem at one of the Xfinity’s stores for another which I did yesterday afternoon. By evening, I did not have things right because nothing was working and now, no phone line active. I elected to “chat” for help (now 10pm) and was connected to a tech savvy person, Prathamesh. Thank goodness! What a kind and patient employee who started the process of getting me activated. After an hour, I lost Prathamesh from the several browser drops and had hoped it would get resolved. By the time I finished my evening, I went back to check the modem and I was fully up and running!!! I was thrilled and so grateful to Prathamesh for continuing on and completing the process for me! I commend and kudos to Comcast/Infinity for having such an outstanding and totally Customer Service oriented employee in your company! It has turned my opinion of the Customer Service Dept around. Because of Prathamesh, I will continue to be one of Comcast/Xfinity’s customers. Thank you, Cherie Alley

RELIEVED!
xFi protection is the most amazingly powerful easy to use WiFi security app. I’ve always been skeptical about using my WiFi do to Securiity threats. Now with xFi I can enjoy my high speed WiFi connection with amazing security features at ease. xFi is very easy to use with understanding instructions. With xFi I was able to instantly get protected. Most of all I’m able to see who’s on my WiFi. I had no clue anyone with Little knowledge could steal your WiFi and use it to read your private information even use your internet data at your expense. I had about 6 threats removed from my WiFi connection literally 10 seconds after installing xFi security app. I’m now able to see who’s on and off my WiFi. Now I can stop any unknown phone, laptop, computer most of all spy technology and more at a push of a button. With xFi security I can now speed up my WiFi connection also run a connection test on any device. There’s easy to use troubleshooting for any device having trouble connecting to your WiFi. xFi has much more features to get that stress of being hacked off your shoulders. It’s a must have security app. I recommend anyone having troubles or not having any troubles to prevent any threats and all to install xFi security app. This amazing security app from xFi is a huge relief to me and my family. Thank you xFi for a job well done. Regards Mr. Santiago -

Love being able to pause devices. Also love asking a question and getting an answer. If you have trouble using this app, you may not be using it right. Initially I left a bad review because I didn't know all I should have pertaining to access to getting information. But, the assistant will answer all asked questions about your service.

So Far So Good
Switched to the 250gig level modem about a month ago. Since that time we have consistently gotten speeds between 250 and 300 gig. Then three days ago I got an email stating after a review of our account, we qualified for free WiFi extender pods. Received them today and they installed without a hitch. Now my three floor home has excellent signal strength everywhere I have measured. I appreciate that for the most part, we receive consistent service with very little downtime. I own all XFINITY services(TV, WiFi, VOIP, Home Security and wireless Phone) and although by no means cheap, we receive ours services with little disruption which in this day and age I feel is the number one measure of service. If I was asked for criticisms, I would list their automated phone system which I find cumbersome and the fact that they utilize customer service representatives who have English as a second language and for me, are difficult to understand. -
Awesome Customer Service
So I’ve been without internet connection for the past 3 days now and couldn’t quite figure out why. My bill was a little late and I figured that once I paid it, everything would go back to normal. I was wrong. After getting upset I finally decided to reach out to representative and luckily they provide a chat room option because if you’re anything like me, I hate talking on the phone with people about these kinds of things. Vachan came online and was very friendly and patient with me as promised me that he would help get my service back up and running. After about 25-30 minutes of troubleshooting, he was able to get my service back up and online and everything ran smoother than before! He was awesome and extremely helpful and it’s because of representatives like him that keep customers satisfied and wanting to continue services with them!

When I am connected everything is great
I received a letter saying my current box as having problems ( I didn’t notice any- and it’s probably less than a year old), and that you were sending a new one. Well I got it and installed it per the instructions on the app- easy btw- it seemed to work. At first it looked like it was working, but the phone wouldn’t connect, and the internet light wasn’t on. Later on in the day we couldn’t connect our devices to the network, so I restarted it, and then reinstalled it. I reinstalled it again in the evening. The app told me it couldn’t connect to restart, so I just reinstalled it as a new device. The next day - no problem. Then around 5:30 the kids told me the internet wasn’t working. Sure enough the app wouldn’t connect. When I finally got to log in, I reinstalled again. So far, so good. I am hesitant to return the old box. Trouble shooting did not work during this process.

Improved! They updated the app and it seems to be running much smoother. I use it multiple times a day to keep my kids on task with school and such. It's fairly easy to set up schedules and I get notifications when their time is up. The only weird thing lately is how the time change messed with the settings.
-
Everything works perfect for me! I can turn off the wifi at any given time on any selected item. Great for my young house gamers who try and stay up all night gaming! Dad has one up on them! And they FINALLY added motion notifications for the security cameras! You can set it to notify you thru text message for people, cars, animals or all three. I still wish the camera had 2-way communication though! You can hear thru the camera but can't talk thru it and because of that I only gave it 4 stars.
-
Its a good app overall, I rarely have issues with the app or services through the app. I use Downtime a lot to control my children's devices and what time it cuts their wifi off. It's only ever shown "in downtime" but still allowing route to the devices à couple of times since I have had the services (7 months).
-
Great, but could use...
Overall, this app is solid and does what it advertises. I noticed, however, that unlike other routers, I’m unable to create a dedicated guest network to keep my devices and guest devices from interacting with each other. I normally setup my routers in this manner as a sort of extra security measure — never know when a friend may bring a virus-infected laptop over! I think the guest network option is missing because it is reserved for the public ‘xfinitywifi’ network...? If so, then it would be really cool if the devices connecting to my home network, but which are assigned to the Guest profile, could be logically treated as being on a separate network so home and guest devices couldn’t communicate with each other. Or, if a dedicated guest network could be made available again and have any devices connecting to it automatically placed in the Guest profile. Either way would satisfy the need while also still allowing customers to monitor usage of and manage guest devices. -
Internet outage
Back around the first of August we reported a problem with our system, internet and TV( the HD side. They tried numerous times to correct the problem and could not, so they scheduled a technician to come out. He did some work in the protector and said that the service pedestal needed some rehad(cleanup work), he would put an order in to have that done. Seems that every night when the sun would go down and temp drop my internet and tv would go out and I could not use it. I call last Thursday and talked with the service center and they tried to reset to no avail! I got a call to set an appointment for 9/7/19 I said that was not acceptable have someone on 9/3/19. They sent me a text confirmed I was the #1 position for 9/3/19 between 1:00 - 3:00 pm. Then this morning I got a text that that appointment was not available and they could not do anything other than 9/7/19. Still having trouble with system. Have filed complaint with the IURC, not happy with service at all!

Love the control but internet drops a lot
We love the control you have with the new xfinity app and WiFi. Being able to set time limits on specific devices or turn off a device is great. Also being able to see how much someone is on a device is a great feature. The problem is more with the internet itself. It drops for no apparent reason for a few minutes here and there and this seems to happen daily. Comcast says it’s when the system runs an update but it’s at different times of the day sometimes multiple times a day. We’ve purchased their pods to try to extend the WiFi throughout the house as they recommended. We even exchanged our router twice at their suggestion but nothing seems to help. The WiFi speed is phenomenal; we are able to have 6 devices connected at the same time with no problems other than when the WiFi decides to drop. It’s usually back up in 10 or 15 minutes but the drops are really frustrating when trying to be on a webinar for work and all of a sudden your internet drops!!

I used to Love this app. Until this newest update. Now every time I try to use it to adjust my kids internet time, it crashes after saying my router isn't connected. Yet it is with 3 other devices connected and working just fine. Very disappointed and frustrated.
-
The potential for this app is great and it has been somewhat useful for me in the past. However, it is very slow to load, logs me out then crashes when I try to log back in, only sends a push notification when someone accesses my wifi but doesn't block them and you cant forget a device until they are not using their device which means I can't stop someone from stealing my wifi until they decide to stop using it. I would have to change my password and redo every device in my house.

Okay. Could be better. Please add a data usage feature.
So, this app is great for being able to change wi-fi settings in your xfinity modem/router. But, at times it seems like when I apply new settings things can get chaotic. Such as the wifi restarting itself and the settings not applying. Now my biggest complaint is within the app you can see how much "usage" everyone has been doing on the internet. Now when I say usage I mean, how much time everyones spent using the internet. I'd much rather be able to see just how much data everyone has been using or how much each device is using in data because of Comcasts new 1000 gigabyte internet plans. Going over the 1000 gigs you have to pay an extra $10 for another 50 gigabytes. So instead of knowing how much everyone's using the internet, you get to see the amount of "usage" or who's been using the internet more which doesn't help because someone could just be we surfing but be on the longest and show up as the one who's using the internet the most. So please, PLEASE, add a feature that allows you to see just how much each person or each device on your network is using so you can keep track of who's using to much data and so you don't go over your restricting 1000gb bandwidth limit and charge your loyal customers more. But Comcast/xfinity usually only seems to be about the money these days. -
Worthless. Returning and getting money back. Signed up for service and was sent a self-install kit. Modem won't activate. Checked the line from the modem to the junction box on the side of the house- line check is good. They aren't willing to fix their line without involving me and charging me a fee. Will return and chargeback any monies they tried to steal from me.

Can’t access any of the main menu features on the app
It’s very irritating that the app refuses to exit out of the virtual chat when I open it. I’ve been having connectivity issues with my WiFi and xfinity isn’t able to do a thing every time I call. They make it virtually impossible to talk to an actual representative and when you’re finally able to get in touch with someone they blame it on a local power outage and they give you a time frame when it should come back up. Mind you that I was told 4 different time frames each time I was able to “chat” with someone and that I would receive a text and call for when the internet would come back up. It’s been almost 2 days since my internet has apparently been down with a supposed timeframe that it would be up by the end of the first day and no such text has arrived. The only way I have somewhat of a connection is if I restart the gateway from xFi app. It gives me internet for a few hours give or take before I have to do it again. However when I click on the app to restart the gateway, I can’t access the main menu or any settings on the app because when I open it, it forces me to either activate a new gateway ,speak with the virtual robot, or sign out. There’s no way for me to exit out of these options. Please fix this issue at least because you can’t even resolve an internet issue. -
Not all that great, it says something in the house is open for attacks but it doesn't say which item needs attention. I've checked everything, including the Roomba and I can't figure out the threat it keep telling me I get. Needs to be a little more precise.

Horrible internet issues
Update: I posted the below email and got a response to go to a forum with a link for more help and when I try to click on that or copy the link it is impossible to do so. Seems to be another way Comcast just messes with you. Thanks again!!! I have been paying for the highest speed of Internet, and for the last seven months have continually had intermittent Internet connectivity, which is even more frustrating now that we are all working from home as we get constantly kicked off of our VPN. I have spent over eight hours talking to Comcast people on the phone and through their stupid chat line, and have yet to get any resolution. They make it so difficult for you to troubleshoot and speak to anyone to get the problem fixed, that you end up just getting frustrated and giving up. I am not giving up, but I am so frustrated and I’m looking for other Internet services other than Comcast. In a society where customer service is the most important thing that we produce these days, this company has absolutely no idea what they are doing, and have done everything in their power to make it difficult to receive any customer service. Comcast if I could give you zero stars I would!!! -
App hasn’t worked in over a month
I previously moved out over a month ago , the app worked fine before then, when I got to my new address the app tells me to text an agent so we can get you up and running. I text the agent , the message says we have found multiple addresses associated with my mobile number and to determine my proper location and to enter my house number. I text the right address ,then It says we’re going to call you. Comcast customer care has transferred me 4 times trying to figure out why I cant sign in. I tried deleting and re-installing the app, they checked to see if i’m at the right address which It was ,I still can’t sign in. I can sign into the “my account” app and also the xfinity website, my modem is working fine I have over 200 mbps. Comcast customer care tried nothing that I didn’t try , asking me if i’m using the right account and password , its incredibly frustrating when I need to use this app for the XFI pods, when they go down theres nothing I can do about it, I can’t check their status nothing , It shouldn’t be this difficult to figure out considering it was working fine at my last address, i’m using the same modem I had before makes zero sense. -
Shame Xfinity is the absolute worst. Wish I could rate them a zero star. I was lied to from the moment I stepped into the store to get services. I was told, "oh sure, you agree to service..it's plug n play. Just get home connect the equipment, download the app & follow the setup" Ha!! What B.S.!! Nothing worked and there is a $70 charge for a tech to come "rewire" a house already rewired 2 months ago??? Fugg that. Refund me my money & trash this B.S. equipment! I'm now with AT&T Uverse & happy!!

Alert sound not consistent
A waste of time and frustration. Just go to your admin page through your browser. Absolutely zero help with app flaws. While I appreciate being able to see unauthorized devices connecting to my network. I am dissatisfied and disappointed that the alert notification does not always work. How effective of a app is it, if it’s basic alert system does not function properly all the time? I am constantly having to check for myself to catch the unauthorized devices connecting, to pause them. I have spent since April 2020 trying to get Xfinity to address the unauthorized devices ability to keep connecting no matter all the menu actions I repeatedly take, and switching out my modem 4xs so far, and still I have unauthorized devices reconnected within a week or two. Why does Xfinity have a app to find issues, but it’s like pulling teeth to get anything but basic help for the issue instead of actually diagnosing why it keeps happening? Very frustrating. I like the app, but Xfinity customer support is time consuming to get them past just the basics each time. Customer support is in bad bad shape. Who are their Trainers? Epic fail! The app is great, but fails to notify consistently.

This app worked fine until we upgraded to a newer router. Now im unable to delete any of my port forwards. It just keeps telling me to try again later or restart the gateway, neither of which have worked. Edit: I think our router upgrade coincided with an app update. Now im unable to pause devices as well. This app has become practically useless for the time being with all these bugs.

Checked the line from the modem to the junction box on the side of the house- line check is good. They aren't willing to fix their line without involving me and charging me a fee. Will return and chargeback any monies they tried to steal from me.

Can’t access any of the main menu features on the app
It’s very irritating that the app refuses to exit out of the virtual chat when I open it. I’ve been having connectivity issues with my WiFi and xfinity isn’t able to do a thing every time I call. They make it virtually impossible to talk to an actual representative and when you’re finally able to get in touch with someone they blame it on a local power outage and they give you a time frame when it should come back up. Mind you that I was told 4 different time frames each time I was able to “chat” with someone and that I would receive a text and call for when the internet would come back up. It’s been almost 2 days since my internet has apparently been down with a supposed timeframe that it would be up by the end of the first day and no such text has arrived. The only way I have somewhat of a connection is if I restart the gateway from xFi app. It gives me internet for a few hours give or take before I have to do it again. However when I click on the app to restart the gateway, I can’t access the main menu or any settings on the app because when I open it, it forces me to either activate a new gateway ,speak with the virtual robot, or sign out. There’s no way for me to exit out of these options. Please fix this issue at least because you can’t even resolve an internet issue. -
Horrible internet issues
Update: I posted the below email and got a response to go to a forum with a link for more help and when I try to click on that or copy the link it is impossible to do so. Seems to be another way Comcast just messes with you. Thanks again!!! I have been paying for the highest speed of Internet, and for the last seven months have continually had intermittent Internet connectivity, which is even more frustrating now that we are all working from home as we get constantly kicked off of our VPN. I have spent over eight hours talking to Comcast people on the phone and through their stupid chat line, and have yet to get any resolution. They make it so difficult for you to troubleshoot and speak to anyone to get the problem fixed, that you end up just getting frustrated and giving up. I am not giving up, but I am so frustrated and I’m looking for other Internet services other than Comcast. In a society where customer service is the most important thing that we produce these days, this company has absolutely no idea what they are doing, and have done everything in their power to make it difficult to receive any customer service. Comcast if I could give you zero stars I would!!! -
App hasn’t worked in over a month
I previously moved out over a month ago , the app worked fine before then, when I got to my new address the app tells me to text an agent so we can get you up and running. I text the agent , the message says we have found multiple addresses associated with my mobile number and to determine my proper location and to enter my house number. I text the right address ,then It says we’re going to call you. Comcast customer care has transferred me 4 times trying to figure out why I cant sign in. I tried deleting and re-installing the app, they checked to see if i’m at the right address which It was ,I still can’t sign in. I can sign into the “my account” app and also the xfinity website, my modem is working fine I have over 200 mbps. Comcast customer care tried nothing that I didn’t try , asking me if i’m using the right account and password , its incredibly frustrating when I need to use this app for the XFI pods, when they go down theres nothing I can do about it, I can’t check their status nothing , It shouldn’t be this difficult to figure out considering it was working fine at my last address, i’m using the same modem I had before makes zero sense. -
Shame Xfinity is the absolute worst. Wish I could rate them a zero star. I was lied to from the moment I stepped into the store to get services. I was told, "oh sure, you agree to service..it's plug n play. Just get home connect the equipment, download the app & follow the setup" Ha!! What B.S.!! Nothing worked and there is a $70 charge for a tech to come "rewire" a house already rewired 2 months ago??? Fugg that. Refund me my money & trash this B.S. equipment! I'm now with AT&T Uverse & happy!!

Alert sound not consistent
A waste of time and frustration. Just go to your admin page through your browser. Absolutely zero help with app flaws. While I appreciate being able to see unauthorized devices connecting to my network. I am dissatisfied and disappointed that the alert notification does not always work. How effective of a app is it, if it’s basic alert system does not function properly all the time? I am constantly having to check for myself to catch the unauthorized devices connecting, to pause them. I have spent since April 2020 trying to get Xfinity to address the unauthorized devices ability to keep connecting no matter all the menu actions I repeatedly take, and switching out my modem 4xs so far, and still I have unauthorized devices reconnected within a week or two. Why does Xfinity have a app to find issues, but it’s like pulling teeth to get anything but basic help for the issue instead of actually diagnosing why it keeps happening? Very frustrating. I like the app, but Xfinity customer support is time consuming to get them past just the basics each time. Customer support is in bad bad shape. Who are their Trainers? Epic fail! The app is great, but fails to notify consistently. -
Trapped?
Had a Netgear router with which I had all sorts of problems stemming from what appeared to be Dos attacks. Kept asking for a new IP address and Comcast wouldn’t do it. Their instructions to shut off the router didn’t work, even if shut down overnight. So I pretty much had to go with Comcast’s gateway if I wanted consistent access to the internet. So now I’m trapped with a gateway that allows me access to the internet, but is not customizable at all. I can’t shut down access to everyone, unless all devices are assigned to the same profile. Not very helpful with young kids that need parental controls to filter content. Parental controls are advertised, but they’re really Comcast Controls, and parents have no input on what content is filtered. And the Comcast Control does let pornography through. Not my idea of good parenting. Overall not happy with my extremely limited choices here. Choose my own gateway that Comcast seems to do whatever they can to prevent it from working, but is customizable and controllable, for those intermittent periods of time that I get internet access. Or, get internet access with with no control over content. Really thinking I might cancel it all-together. -
This app is completely unusable as of 15 Nov 2020. Anytime I try to sign in to the app it either says I'm not authorized or they are having trouble try again later. This happened a few times on my old phone but after upgrading to my new one I can't access or manage any of my services without calling it in. Useless.
