Xfinity WiFi is the largest WiFi network in the U.S. with 18 million WiFi hotspots (and growing), which are offered to Xfinity Internet customers for no additional fee.

Do I Need to Use a Router? If you want to connect more than one device to the Internet, you need a router. When you lease an Xfinity Wireless Gateway, the router is built into it. The Wireless Gateway acts as a modem (connection to the Internet) and a router (connecting multiple devices within the home).

Xfinity Gateways and xFi Gateways are all-in-one devices that deliver internet and voice connectivity, whole-home WiFi coverage, network security, control and speed for the ultimate connected experience.

If you're wondering who makes the new gateway, it seems to be rebranded hardware from Plume, a small networking company that started making the Plume Pods years ago, which later became the xFi Pods.
