To set up Xfinity WiFi, you'll need to have an Xfinity Internet plan, as Xfinity WiFi is included with all plans.

First, make sure your Xfinity router is properly connected to your modem and turned on.

The Xfinity router is typically set to automatically obtain an IP address from your modem, so you don't need to manually configure this setting.

You can find the IP address of your router by looking for the sticker on the bottom of the router or by checking your Xfinity account online.

Make sure to write down your new password and store it in a safe place, as you'll need it to access your router settings in the future.
