While Google Wifi works with most internet service providers, including Xfinity, Google Wifi isn't compatible with 3rd party routers or access points. It is only compatible with Nest Wifi routers and points and Google Wifi points to create a whole Wi-Fi mesh system. Google Wifi replaces your current router and it requires to be connected to a modem to get an internet connection from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can connect it directly to your modem with the Ethernet cable to set it up and broadcast your Wi-Fi network.

We recommend putting it in Bridge mode or disable the Wi-Fi functionality of your Xfinity router to avoid double NAT and use it as a downstream switch instead.
