How do i find my xfinity wifi password

Question

How do I find my WiFi network and password?

Answer

Sometimes it can be hard to remember your WiFi network name (aka SSID) and password, so we made it easy to see and change them from a few places. Here’s how.

Before you begin, remember that:

• These instructions are for leased Xfinity Gateways only. If you’re using an approved, non-Xfinity Internet device, visitxfinity.com/support/devicesand select your modem or router to find out more information.
• Xfinity xFi Gateways broadcast two or three wireless signals/bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6GHz) depending on model. For the strongest and fastest connection available, we highly recommend using the same network name and password for all bands.
• After changing your network name or password, you’ll need to reconnect all your WiFi devices. Read more about connecting to a WiFi network.

2. The password(s) and network name(s) will show up on the screen.

Xfinity Wireless Gateway Admin Tool

A lot of people like using My Account, xFi, and X1. But if you’re more advanced, you might also want to try theXfinity Admin Tool.

1. Connect a computer, tablet or phone to your network. You can either use WiFi or hook up an Ethernet cable to your Gateway.
2. Open a web browser and go to the Admin Tool (http://10.0.0.1). This is the Wireless Gateway's administration site. The default settings to open the Admin Tool are:
   • Username: admin
   • Password: password (case sensitive)
3. Select Login.
   Note: If you changed your Admin Tool password before, use your new login info. If you don't remember your Admin Tool password, you’ll have tofactory reset your Wireless Gateway.
4. On the left navigation menu, choose Gateway, then Connection and then WiFi.
5. Under Private WiFi Network, you'll see the name (SSID) of your WiFi network.
6. Select Edit. If you see two network names, select Edit for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to view each band's settings.
7. Check the box next to Show Network Password and you’ll see your password.
8. After making changes, select Save Settings.

Note: If you have xFi Pods or if WiFi Intelligence is enabled on your account, the ability to edit your WiFi name/password through the Gateway Admin/MSO tool (10.0.0.1) is disabled and you will need to use the Xfinity app or xFi website. If you are unsure if WiFi Intelligence in enabled, you can check in the Xfinity app by going to Connect > See Network > Advanced Settings and look for the option “2.4 & 5 GHz”. If the option is not there, then WiFi Intelligence has been enabled. WiFi Intelligence is automatically enabled for the xFi Advanced Gateway (XB8).

Default WiFi Information (View Only)

Your Xfinity Wireless Gateway comes with a default WiFi network name and password. Most Xfinity Gateways require that the default WiFi name and password are changed during installation. If your default WiFi name and password were not changed during your install or if you have restored factory settings on your Gateway, you can find the default WiFi information on the side or bottom of your Gateway:

If you’ve never changed your WiFi network name and password, we strongly recommend that you change them to improve the security of your home network.
