Storm-Ready Connectivity with Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi Backup

Whenever there’s a storm in the area, you should always be prepared for one thing: a possible internet outage. Fortunately, Xfinity is the first internet service provider (ISP) in the United States to offer a feasible solution, the Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi Backup, which utilizes a cellular internet connection. This gives you all the more reason to subscribe to an Xfinity internet connection so that you can stay connected at all times.

In the case of a storm, be it rain or snow, you have access to uninterrupted internet service via an LTE-powered cellular internet connection once you lose your primary internet connectivity through your Xfinity Gateway. This is essential for people who rely heavily on the internet, such as students, remote workers, and so on. However, there is a lot more to the service than meets the eye, so let’s get into it.

Storm-Ready Connectivity with Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi Backup

With advancements in internet technology, it seems nearly impossible to spend our lives without access to the internet. Our communication, work, and even studies heavily rely on the internet, and whenever there’s an outage, life feels like it’s at a standstill.

You can prevent such inconveniences in your life with an Xfinity internet connection at home, since the provider offers you a backup connection in case your internet goes out. This way, you can stay connected in emergency situations and give yourself the peace of mind that you deserve.

Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi Backup: Reliable Connectivity in Any Situation

Whenever the internet goes out, our first instinct is to turn on mobile data so that we don’t lose connectivity. This makes it necessary for you to choose an internet service that is known for its reliability and stability. If the outage is due to intangible reasons such as storms and blizzards, then that is an entirely different story.

You’ll be glad to know that Xfinity now automatically shifts to an LTE internet connection for you. In usual conditions, your Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi Extender works as a regular signal extender in your home, making sure you have equal signal strength all around your house.

When the Xfinity Gateway stops working due to a network outage, the Pro Wi-Fi Extender automatically connects to the cellular network, giving you access to LTE internet speeds. Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi serves as a backup internet connection for your home so that you can continue your activities without any interruption, with speeds up to 30 Mbps.

If you add a Battery Backup to your connection, you can ensure that you are connected to the internet even in the case of a power outage, since the battery has enough juice to power your internet connection through the Pro Wi-Fi extender for four additional hours.

Once the network outage is fixed, your broadband internet connection will go back to normal, and the Gateway will work as it usually does, falling back to Xfinity Wi-Fi, your primary source of internet (with higher speeds).

Benefits of Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi Backup

Picture this: you’re a remote worker in the middle of an important meeting, and just as you are about to speak, your internet goes out. How embarrassing would that be? Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a backup plan so that you can go about with your meeting as if nothing happened?

You can do so if you have the Xfinity Pro Wi-Fi backup, making sure you have internet connectivity at all times. You’ll be glad to know that it isn’t the only benefit of the service; here are some other ways you can make the best out of it.

• Enhanced Wi-Fi Coverage: Having Xfinity Pro at home gives you access to better internet coverage all over your house. It includes two Wi-Fi extenders that work to eliminate dead zones, giving you equal internet performance everywhere in your house.
• Peace of Mind: As I mentioned earlier, a reliable internet backup gives you the peace of mind that you need in case of an unexpected internet outage.
• Improved Productivity: Remote workers and students need to stay online through meetings and classes. A reliable backup makes it possible to stay connected at all times, without breaking a sweat.
• Easy Setup: Both Xfinity Pro and your home network integrate seamlessly with the Xfinity App, making setup and functionality as easy as could be.
• Smart Home Functionality: Smart thermostats, security systems, lighting, and any other device that has dependence on the internet work seamlessly even through network and power outages.

Eligibility Requirements for Xfinity Pro

Anyone who leases an Xfinity Gateway, regardless of being a new or existing customer, is eligible to add Xfinity Pro to their service. The Gateway acts as both router and modem, working as the connectivity hub for your internet service. You can further enhance its performance by adding Xfinity Pro, which gives you internet access even when there’s a network or power outage.
