- With severe weather impacting many parts of the country, there has never been a greater need for a back-up connectivity solution. Comcast’s new Storm-Ready WiFi device is equipped with cellular back-up and a four-hour rechargeable battery, more than enough power to keep customers up and running for the average power outage in the U.S. of two hours*. Storm-Ready WiFi gives customers peace of mind that they’ll be able to maintain connectivity at home, as it provides a seamless connection with auto failover. When the power goes out, the customer’s network is automatically transitioned to cellular back-up so they can continue the use of their Internet.
Storm-Ready WiFi also doubles as a WiFi extender to deliver a strong WiFi signal to those hard-to-reach corners of the home. The device works with Xfinity gateways to create a wall-to-wall mesh network that seamlessly extends coverage throughout customers’ homes. Storm-Ready WiFi is also WiFi 6 capable, elevating the WiFi experience in the home with faster speeds, lower latency and increased bandwidth to power more devices in the ever-increasing connected homes of today.
Will this also back up the wired internet connection from my existing Comcast modem/router combo unit?
I was told by an in store xfinity rep that it's not really "unlimited," you have unlimited data within a 4-hour block of time starting from when the outage occurred. So, if you still have power, but your internet line gets damaged in a storm, you won't have unlimited data for days, it's just 4 hours total, per outage incident.
So this product is useless for me. We had a bad ice storm and a tree fell on our cable line. we still have power, but have been without internet for going on a week now.
This device has been a nightmare. It doesn't work
Explain 🤔
I’m in a power outage right now. Regular Comcast cable Internet lasted about 6 to 8 hours after the power went out with my back up generator running. After that Internet service was swapped over to storm ready Wi-Fi via Verizon. Speeds are less than a megabyte per second download and the activation process was a nightmare. I stayed up until 10 AM to get this equipment activated. I talked to three separate customer service representatives, none of which could actually help me. I let it sit for a couple hours, and it magically started working. The thing is nothing but headaches.
they need a separate app to manage this ASAP and a whole overhaul of the main app whoever coded this is a joke this is a disaster your application is a mess😢😢😢 HUGE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COMING COMCAST
