XFINITY Gateway: Enable or Disable Bridge Mode on a Wireless Gateway

Typically, two pieces of equipment are required to connect to the Internet and the WiFi network in your home:

  • A modem connects your home to an Internet Service Provider’s (e.g. Comcast’s) network.
  • A router connects your wired and wireless devices to your modem.

The wireless gateway from XFINITY puts the technology of a modem and router into one piece of equipment, creating the fastest, most reliable in-home WiFi available to all rooms of the house.

We understand, however, that there may be times in which you may want to use your own router.

To do this, you will have to enable the Bridge Mode feature on the wireless gateway, which turns off its routing capabilities while leaving the modem capabilities on.
