Xfinity Wireless Gateway Router

I found this as a gateway compatible with Xfinity and was able to easily install on my own in no time!

I have been looking to replace my wireless gateway from Comcast for a while now. Recently some new products such as the Google Home caught my attention since they had multiple access points that are placed around your house. This setup has been used in enterprise for years. The only downfall which made me stay away was the lack of customization and advanced features. Using the Synology Router has been like no other. The user interface is the best I have every used, there are so many features and add-ons, I have yet to use them all. Some key points of the router is the 802.11ac antennas, they also operate at a newer channel so currently I am the only one in my apartment complex to be on this channel. The add-ons that are built into the router are pretty useful, my favorite is intrustion prevention since it will monitor network traffic and alert and or block traffic is reconginizes as being harmful. Overal I love this router, many of the issues I had with the range and connectivity on my old gateway have been resolved with this new router. I will continue to purchase their routers in the future. #sweepstakes

This router works well with other Ubiquity Unifi devices including managed switches, wireless access points and network extenders. This router is fast. The self hosted server app works well on a Windows 10 pc. What isn't clear from the product description or BHP tech support is that the 2.5 GB ports adapt to 1 GB connections and that this router can replace an older Ubiquity UniFi router by plug and play. All that is needed, is to replace the new router on the gateway connection and adopt the device. Once you adopt the new router you get a message saying you can't have 2 gateways. Then just go and forget/remove the old gateway router from the app and re-adopt the new gateway router. Give it a bit of time and all the settings will be automatically applied to the new router. I have a xfinity cable modem, UniFi gateway router, 2 UniFi 8 port managed switched, 1 UniFi WAP, 2 UniFi Beacon wireless network extenders and about 50 network devices managed with a fixed ip setup. My only complaint is that nobody at BHP or Ubiquity could give me a straight answer on upgrading the router.

I plugged in one of the router outputs from my AT&T wireless gateway and distributed it to wall jacks and 2 Ubiquiti UniFi AC Pro access points (also bought from B&H) via PoE and everything just worked. Not sure why I waited so long to do this.

Works better than our Xfinity router and it looks cool

Easy to setup. Replaced my Xfinity xFi Gateway but without telephone service. Working well for the first two weeks. The only issue is my box was missing the warranty card and the quick guide.

I bought this when I switched from uverse to xfinity. I needed a cable gateway and so far this has done the trick. For the most part my ookla speed test always comes close or exceeds the cable speed I’m paying for; which is pretty impressive during these “uncertain times”. Another thing I’m happy about was it’s smooth interface with my Western Digital My Cloud.

Works as advertised. Hardest part of setup was putting my Xfinity gateway in bridge mode, and that wasn't hard. Eliminated dead spots inside and on the back patio.

Purchased the Orbi due to a previously purchased Motorola gateway. Dead spot in my home, dropping internet causing me to reboot severa times a week. Put the Orbi in service and GREAT coverage with one satellite. Extremely easy to set up, activate through Xfinity - 6 minutes! Super strong signal throughout my 2100 square foot single story home. Night LAN ports to support direct connecting to my devices on both the gateway and satellite. The satellite paired in seconds. Now I have WiFi out to mailbox! Dead spots are gone. Interface on app is user friendly and offers great flexibility. Rating says supports only 800 mbps packages with Xfinity but I have a 1000mbps package and I’m getting ALL of that through my entire network most times. Great product. I recommend to anyone looking to increase their network footprint and range.

Had a xfinity gateway for many years and it just wasn’t reliable. With my new Orbi I get whole home reliable fast coverage, definitely recommend!!!
