Hi Modem. Thanks for reaching out! It is very likely that your Xfinity router is actually a Modem/Router Combo gateway. As long as the Xfinity gateway has Ethernet ports, you can use an eero system. You’ll need to download the eero app and connect an eero to the Xfinity gateway with an Ethernet cable (There will be one in the eero box). The eero app will guide you through setting up your new eero system. eero will create a new wifi network for your devices to connect to (we recommend disabling the Xfinity's wifi if possible. If not, make sure Xfinity and eero are broadcasting different wireless network names). Additional eeros can connect to that primary/gateway eero (either wired or wirelessly) and, once setup, will broadcast the same wifi network.
