Storm-Ready Internet
Comcast's Storm-Ready Wi-Fi router can extend an internet connection for several hours during a power outage by using a cellular connection.
The typical power outage lasts around two to three hours, often caused by storms that keep people trapped inside. This can be a problem for people who work from home or rely on the internet for communication.
Comcast's Storm-Ready Wi-Fi router is the first internet provider to develop its own backup Wi-Fi router that can carry an internet connection without lapsing during a storm.
The router taps into Xfinity's 10G network to keep service working during an outage and maintains internet speeds up to 30 Mbps for downloading and 7 Mbps for uploading.
It's Wi-Fi 6-capable and comes with a rechargeable, four-hour backup battery. This means you can stay connected for a few hours even if the power is out.

The Storm-Ready Wi-Fi router will cost Xfinity users an additional $7 monthly for a period of 36 months.
