Hi, they create a mesh network with the comcast modem router gateway they require already be in use before setting these up. I hope that helps. Robin

Which Xfinity device are you referring to? Is it their standard router with digital voice support, or are you referring to some sort of mesh network device? That I haven’t seen yet? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Robin Frost Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2018 1:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Xfinity XFIPods and iPhone Setup Hi, While it’s true that these devices don’t directly relate to iPhone use since you use your iPhone exclusively to set them up if you use that platform of course I thought it relevant to anyone on this list who might be a Comcast customer. In case anyone had been anticipating the arrival of these devices for Comcast Xfinity internet customers and wondering what they’d be like and how accessible their setup would be let me assure you that Comcast as has become the custom of recent years have outdone themselves in creating an experience that is both easy, intuitive for all and accessible too. I ordered the devices Thursday afternoon and they arrived Saturday. Their packaging is of very high quality. The devices are compact but feel very solid to the touch. But more importantly the setup process in Comcast’s Xfinity XFI app was seamless, intuitive, easy as can be and accessible at least on iOS devices from beginning to end. I can’t speak to the Android side as I don’t have a device running it but I’ve no doubt that if it isn’t yet, it soon will be accessible on that device as well. True to the description setup took less than ten minutes and the end user needed to know practically next to nothing more than their own internet user name and password and how to follow prompts to get things up and running. For those who’ve worked with mesh internet systems before the experience will be quite familiar but even for those with no prior experience with such devices worry not should you choose to implement them in your environs the entire process from ordering to setup will be a breeze. I just thought I’d post just in case others like myself had been anticipating their arrival and wondered what it’d be like to get them up and going. All of my devices including iDevices and Sonos speakers along with pc’s and other internet connected things are happily up and running. Take good care.
