Comcast announced a new version of its x. Fi Advanced Gateway, one of its modem / router combo products you can lease with your Xfinity internet, today at CES. This new version has support for Wi-Fi 6, which is optimized for faster speeds and to better handle the ever-growing number of networked devices we have in our homes.
, wi Fi is IPv6 is compatible , however, it may require an upgrade to your gateway firmware or hardware. If you have a wireless gateway (Ethernet to Wi. Fi bridge) connected to an Xfinity Internet gateway to achieve wireless capability, the gateway may need to be replaced with one that is IPv6 capable.
Last month, Comcast released a statement declaring that it would be launching a new wireless router—officially named the x. Fi Advanced Gateway— with a set of new features that looked quite appealing . The big advantage, which I would suspect many tech geeks would jump at the chance to get, was the new Wi-Fi 6 capability.
Using the admin tool of the XB6 does not include AX for 2.4 and 5 GHz, while the XB7’s does, but obviously we’re nto able to turn this on. My best guess is that Wi. Fi 6 will be enabled with this device in the future. Does anyone know if OFDMA still works with the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands being Wi. Fi 4 and 5 only?
The big advantage, which I would suspect many tech geeks would jump at the chance to get, was the new Wi-Fi 6 capability. As someone who has Xfinity now with a gigabit-rated connection, having the best router Comcast offers would be great , and the press release makes a very compelling pitch.
Why can’t Xfinity take over my WiFi system?
An Xfinity employee explained that this might be due to a lack of compatibility between Xfinity’s system and the customer’s existing wired system. 1 That said, if you’re employing Xfinity to takeover your system, make sure they can use your existing security system before agreeing to service. Xfinity is only available in select regions.

Can xfinity use adt sensors?
With Xfinity, you can add gear like indoor or outdoor night vision cameras and smart home automation equipment like the Zen thermostat. ADT offers additional security equipment including a camera and more sensors, such as the glass-break sensor, ideal for sliding doors .
We moved in to a house where previous owners had ADT’s alarm system . The board is still there and I’m planning to remove it because it doesn’t do anything at the moment. But the (wireless) sensors are still on doors and windows and as far as I can tell are still functional.
Do you still use the sensors on your alarm system?
But the (wireless) sensors are still on doors and windows and as far as I can tell are still functional . I would like to reuse those, but I would like a ‘local’ alarm system (that would just trigger a sound but nothing else), as opposed to centrally monitored one that you have to have subscription for.
