Simple Steps to Set Up Xfinity Internet the Right Way
Among the many perks of getting an Xfinity Internet connection, self-installation is definitely among the most prominent ones. You don't have to go through the hassle of paying extra for a team of professionals that will arrive at your place, only to install your internet connection.Instead, you can opt for self-installation if you have a cursory sense of what to do. Once you subscribe to an Xfinity Internet plan, you are entitled to receive a self-installation kit that lets you bypass the entire professional installation process.

If you intend to install your connection yourself, there are some basic steps that you must know about beforehand.
Pros of Self-Installation and Professional Installation
There are certain benefits of having your internet connection installed by a professional over installing it on your own. For instance, if you have your internet installed by professionals, the entire process is done by the team, and there is nothing that you have to do.
Also, if there are any problems, they are addressed by the team, and they fix them for you, meaning that you don't have to be stuck in a loop where you can't figure out what you have to do.
The professional team can also move your cable connection point, based on where you want your internet connection to be. However, do keep in mind that you have to pay a hefty fee to get your internet installed professionally.
On the contrary, self-installation has a couple of noteworthy perks as well.
For instance, you don't need to make an appointment, which means that you can install your internet connection at your earliest convenience. Similarly, you don't have to pay a lot for a self-installation kit besides a small shipping fee.
Plus, the process is pretty quick and easy. It isn't rocket science that you'll have a hard time figuring out, so I think you should go for self-installation and save yourself some bucks. Now, moving on to how to install your internet service on your own. Here are the things you need to keep in mind.
Decide the Placement of Your Gateway
While other companies call it a router or a modem, Xfinity refers to it as a gateway.
The first thing you need to do is decide on a central location for your gateway, ensuring you receive equal signals throughout your house. You can put your gateway in the living room since it will probably be used the most there to stream movies and shows on your TV and to play online games on your console.
However, be sure to keep your gateway away from other devices that can cause interference with your internet signals. These devices commonly include microwave ovens, heating elements, baby monitors, and other wireless devices.
This part of the process needs some planning, so make sure you put some thought into it.
Connect Your Gateway to the Internet
Next, you need to ensure that your gateway has access to Xfinity's Internet service. Here, you will have to attach a coaxial cable to your gateway, so that you can connect to your ISP. The coaxial cable comes from outside your home, and it should already be installed by a technician. It is something you can't do on your own.
You also get a coaxial cable in your box when you order a self-installation kit.
The process is pretty simple, for your cable internet connection you have to screw in the coaxial connector in the port. Don't over-tighten it with a wrench, though, just tighten it as much as it allows you to do so naturally.
Once you've done this, connect the other end to the outlet of the coaxial cable coming into your home. This establishes your internet connection.
Connect Your Gateway to a Power Source
Next, you need to power up your gateway. To do that, just plug the gateway into the nearest power outlet to turn it on. It is important to do this part after you have connected the coaxial cable so that you have an active internet connection when you turn on the gateway. Plus, this will also prevent you from getting shocked by the gateway.
As another precautionary measure, make sure you first plug the power cable into your gateway and then connect the other end to a power source. This will save you from getting shocked as well. After that, just boot up your gateway, and connect your device, such as your smartphone, to it.
Choose a Network Name and a Password
Your gateway needs a name and a password, so you know what your Wi-Fi's name is, and the password adds a layer of security so that unauthorized people in your vicinity cannot connect to your internet service.
You can enter the Wi-Fi name and password of your liking through the Xfinity app. Remember that your password has to be easy to remember for everyone in your family, but not easy enough to be guessed. You add a series of letters and numbers, so that the password is hard to guess.
Once you've successfully completed the process, you'll have an active internet connection all set up and ready to use.
