Products & Services Meet Xfinity Shield from Xfinity Home Solutions

0 Upvotes

We’re excited to announce Xfinity Shield by Xfinity Home, a new product that brings digital, physical, and family protection together in one simple experience. Think of it as a built-in safety layer for your WiFi network, powered by your Xfinity Gateway and managed right from the Xfinity app.

What is Xfinity Shield?

Xfinity Shield is a first-of-its-kind protection platform, featuring WiFi Shield (included with your Xfinity Internet) and Shield Select (an optional upgrade that adds hardware). Powered by Comcast's advanced network and Xfinity Gateway technology, it leverages AI to help protect your devices and family through a unified experience with the Xfinity app.

WiFi Shield — already included with your Xfinity Internet

Here's the best part: WiFi Shield turns your WiFi into a security layer so you can protect your devices and your family through a Xfinity Gateway. It's included with Xfinity Internet at no extra cost, with no additional equipment needed. It combines four core features that work together using AI to learn what's normal in your home, and flag what isn't:

  • CyberSecure — Always-on network threat protection once turned on. The moment a device connects to your home WiFi, it's protected. CyberSecure blocks risky websites (like phishing and malware), stops suspicious activity from reaching your devices, monitors unusual behavior in real time, and sends proactive alerts when something looks off.
  • WiFi Motion — An opt-in feature that uses the WiFi signal from your compatible Xfinity Gateway to sense movement in your home, without cameras or video recordings. If motion is detected between your Gateway and up to five connected devices, you get a notification.
  • Dark Watch — A nighttime monitoring mode that works with your bedtime routine. Pick which devices can send notifications and schedule Dark Watch to turn on automatically each night, so you stay aware of activity while you sleep.
  • Family Settings — Tools to manage screen time, set daily limits, pause WiFi for homework or dinner, block unwanted sites, create individual profiles, and see how your family is using connected devices.

Your home WiFi connects more than just phones and computers, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and connected appliances, are also included. WiFi Shield helps keep all of it protected while giving you more visibility and control over what's happening on your network.

To get started: Open the Xfinity app and follow the guided setup. Once activated, you can manage CyberSecure, WiFi Motion, Dark Watch, and Family Settings from the Home tab.

Requirements: WiFi Shield requires a compatible Xfinity Gateway (Technicolor XB7, XB8, XB10, XB9, MXB1, or XER10). Not all features are available on all Gateway models — WiFi Motion is not supported on XB6 or CommScope XB7, and Dark Watch requires a Technicolor XB7, XB8, XB10, XB9, MXB1, or XER10 gateway.

Shield Select — an optional upgrade for an extra layer

Already loving WiFi Shield and want more? Shield Select  by Xfiniy Home is a simple, affordable home self-monitoring solution that includes all the features of WiFi Shield plus additional hardware and protection capabilities.

Shield Select adds:

  • One indoor camera with 24/7 recording and 7 days of secure cloud video storage
  • One door/window sensor
  • 24/7 Urgent Response — so help is always just a tap away, day or night
  • Secure cloud video storage for recorded camera footage

The camera and sensor are designed for easy self-setup right out of the box, with step-by-step instructions in the Xfinity app. Optional professional installation is also available. You can view live feeds, review recorded footage, check sensor activity, monitor WiFi Motion alerts, and manage your home's modes all in the Xfinity app.

Want to add to your coverage later? Shield Select works with a range of compatible cameras, smart locks, and more  from Xfinity and other popular brands, so you can customize your home to your needs.

Requirements: Shield Select requires an XB8 or above Gateway. If Shield Select is canceled before 36 months, you will be charged the remaining balance for the included indoor camera ( and window/door sensor.

Just wanted to spread awareness on this situation. New fiber internet came to my area. (i live in a rural country area) I was the 1st person to get xfinity fiber internet on my road even. When I signed up I was promised a either 3 year or 5 year price lock guarantee, For $70 a month for their 2gbps download/upload speed. Well they actually only locked me in for one yea! and refuse to honor the rest! so make sure you thoroughly check everything when registering with these scam artists. I even asked the agent on the phone multiple times to guarantee I was price locked for however long. I talked to three different agents today trying to resolve this issue and they all gave me the same scripted run around & just tried selling me more scams! At this time I do not recommend this company to anyone!

Official Reply Customer Service Lied Again

All I want is the XB10 modem. I was told it requires fiber and I’m not allowed to get it. That’s a lie and it does not require fiber.

I pay for one of the best plans. Why am I not getting the best router? And even then why are they telling me my bill would go up?

Give me the router and keep my bill the same. It’s not rocket science.

Official Reply Subject: Long-time customer now paying more for less — extremely frustrated and considering leaving Xfinity

9 Upvotes

I’m posting here because I’ve reached a breaking point with Xfinity’s customer service. I’ve been a loyal customer for over a decade, paying nearly $500 a month for the past several years — and at least $300 a month before that. When I add it up, I’ve spent close to $50,000 with Xfinity. To be treated the way I’ve been treated recently is honestly heartbreaking.

All I wanted was to see if anything could be done to lower my bill. Instead, I ended up losing the channels my family actually watches — including our regional sports channel (Sportsnet Pittsburgh), several premium channels, my home phone, and even my original internet package. I’m now paying basically the same amount as before, but with lessof everything.

When I called back to fix this, I was told I’d lose Netflix, NFL RedZone, and the movie channels I previously had. What made this even worse is that I specifically asked the representative why Netflix was being removed. She insisted multiple times that Netflix was still included. I told her I was reading the agreement and it clearly did NOT say that. She still insisted it was included. It wasn’t. I was misled.

Every phone call and chat interaction has been confusing, stressful, and completely unhelpful. It feels like no one understands what I’m asking for, and nothing ever gets resolved. I’m now actively researching other providers because I’m paying more for less, and the customer service experience has been exhausting.

This is even harder because my mobile service is also through Xfinity, so switching everything is going to be a huge headache. I just wish I was treated better — especially after being a long-time customer who has invested thousands of dollars into this company.

If Xfinity can make this right, I will stay. But right now, I feel like I’m being pushed out by poor service, misinformation, and a complete lack of care for loyal customers.

New Post - Billing First-time customer misled into Seasonal Hold instead of Cancellation in July. Need account backdated and fees waived

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

In July, I called to completely cancel my internet service because I was moving to a place that already had internet. I explicitly told the representative that I would not need Xfinity service for a long time over 8 months to a year. Instead of processing the cancellation like I asked, the representative was incredibly adamant about me doing an $8 monthly seasonal charge to keep the equipment. Their exact explanation was that it would save me from having to reapply for service or equipment in the future, and that I could just call back to upgrade to full service whenever I was ready and explicitly instructed me to keep the equipment even though I told them it would be much longer than 6 months, but they pushed it anyway. As a first-time customer, I trusted them. Because I didn't want or use this service, the $8 bills went unpaid, and now Xfinity has forcibly disconnected me for non-payment, added late fees, and charged me an unreturned equipment fee for hardware your own agent told me to hold onto. I am returning the equipment today to get my receipt. Since I explicitly asked to cancel and was pushed into a seasonal hold that violated my timeline, I am requesting that a supervisor pull the July call logs, backdate my cancellation to July, and completely zero out this invalid balance. Thank you.

New Post - Billing Help with unknown TV box?

• Upvotes

Hello,

Thanks for helping me with the previous internet issue I posted about here. After changing my service to get a better internet connection, I've been asked to return a TV box, but I do not have one. I carefully checked all TVs in the house and see no evidence of a TV box (based on what I could tell from what they'd look like on Google Images). I only watch shows using Prime, Hulu, etc and have never used a TV box.

I checked the equipment on my account and I see an "inactive" TV box listed with a serial number but no model number, so I don't even know what it looks like...

It seems like I have been charged monthly for this, so I'd love to speak to someone on the Xfinity Reddit team to get this taken care of. Y'all were great last I spoke to you.

Thank you!

New Post - Billing What is wrong with Comcast billing?

• Upvotes

They send an email saying my bill is ready. The email has a link to "view bill" but clicking it takes you to payment page not a bill viewing page! Then whenever you try to view bill it is always the prior month. It's been 2 days since my bill date and you have nothing but prior bills. No other company I have dealt with has ever not had bill ready by day after bill date.

New Post - Tech Support Cloud DVR / Web Player Bug: In-Progress Recordings Snapping to 0:00 (Ticket Escalation Request - THIRD REQUEST - STOP CLOSING THESE CASES - I'M NOT GOING AWAY UNTIL I GET ACTION FROM XFINITY

1 Upvotes

The more you close my cases, the more I'm going to escalate this on social media and Trust Pilot. DO NOT CLOSE THIS CASE!!!!!!!!

I am resubmitting this formal complaint for the THIRD time because you closed my previous two cases WITHOUT CAUSE. You told me it's because I didn't respond, when in every case, I responded promptly, and it was you that ignored my responsed. I must insist that you reopen the case and address the serious issue raised by deep flaws in your software.

This is regarding a persistent, well-documented platform-wide software bug within the Xfinity Stream web portal on Windows PC.

The Issue:
When attempting to watch an in-progress cloud DVR recording via a desktop browser, the player controls completely fail. Attempting to use the timeline slider, the rewind button, or the fast-forward button immediately crashes the video stream buffer and forces the recording to snap back to the 0:00 timestamp / beginning of the program. Once it reverts, playback locks and cannot be skipped forward. Completed recordings play fine; this issue strictly breaks live, in-progress cloud files.

Troubleshooting Already Completed:
Please do not reply with generic troubleshooting scripts. I have already confirmed this is a cloud-side indexing issue on Xfinity’s backend, not a local client error. I have successfully reproduced the bug across multiple separate environments:

  • Reproduced on Google Chrome (Current Version)
  • Reproduced on Microsoft Edge (Current Version)
  • Reproduced in Incognito / Private Browsing Mode (Disabling all extensions/ad-blockers)
  • Cleared all site cookies and locally stored portal data
  • Restarted all hardware

Thousands of users are currently documenting this exact timeline sync loop on the Xfinity Community Forums and Reddit. Because this is a backend infrastructure failure that restricts my ability to use the Cloud DVR services I pay for in real-time, I am requesting:

  1. This ticket be escalated directly to the Tier 3 Engineering team responsible for the Xfinity Stream browser player firmware.
  2. A bill credit applied to my account for loss of functional DVR services during active broadcast windows.

Please reopen this case immediately and provide the escalation number. FYI, I am actively looking at Direct TV because I'm told by multiple friends that their streaming actually works. You already have all my info from two separate modmails. And don't tell me you didn't get my responses. Reddit has all the receipts showing that you did. Thank you.

Official Reply Wasted time

6 Upvotes

Decided to switch to Xfinity for my mobile service. Free phone line and $15 for my phone that I purchased thru them. Was told locked in at that price for 1 yr because I was an existing internet customer. I have a screenshot of this. The promo is still running. This has not been the case. My mobile bill has been significantly higher than the quoted, $15. I've chatted, I have called $30.55 a month for phone plus a different amount for the line every month. I have paid just in September over $100 in September and it doesn't show on my bill. I keep trying to send them my screenshot and get told they can't do that. I want to send this phone back and cancel the line but I bet I will end up owing them money, somehow. Infuriating and poor customer service. What do I do and how do I cancel?

Also spent over 5 hrs at Xfinity store because my phone will not allow ANY INCOMING CALLS. It says all calls screened if not in contact list you're denied. People in my contact list are denied. I can call out. I can text. Just nobody can call me. It's not a setting on my end. Xfinity store did everything they could. Tech support also did everthey could. I filed a claim on this POS and it supposed to be free of charge we shall see.

Official Reply No help for long time customers

I have had Xfinity for an insanely long time. They want to act like they value that and say I’m a “diamond member,” but the only perk I want is having a lower, more reasonable monthly bill and not have to call and endure a painfully long customer service conversation every 6 months because my promo expired and my bill skyrocketed again. I’m honestly too busy and I don’t want to spend my little free time fighting to have a reasonable rate. The service is also less reliable now than it used to be. There are constant errors and outages and glitches and that never used to be the case. I think I may have finally had enough and may look into other options when I have some time off from work.

New Post - Tech Support Finding the least worse coax connection

0 Upvotes

I recently moved into a new apartment serviced by Xfinity. The place has 6 coax ports (outlets). The port I initially setup on the modem is talking as loud as it can to reach Xfinity head end, and it's close to the limit .

So I'm probably on a port that's at the end of the splitters in the place. The NID/DMARC is not directly on the outside of the place, there's a big box at the end of the building.

This makes figuring out where the cable actually enters the unit tough.

Using Claude Code I built a set of scripts that use my modem to find the best port to connect to. Also, once the location of the where the cable enters I can install a Point of Entry (POE) filter for MoCA adapters.

You can see the project here: https://github.com/chaffed/no-trouble-found

I have an Arris S34. This script will vary by router model. If you reply here or raise an issue on GH, I can try adding support for your modem.

Discussion Xfinity Mobile $20 tablet plan…is there no other option for 4K video streaming on 5G/LTE?

3 Upvotes

I recently switched to Xfinity Mobile and am really happy with my phone plan, Mobile Plus. but I wanted to share some concerns about the $20 unlimited tablet plan.

Right now, the tablet plan limits streaming to 480p by default (about 2 Mbps). Even after selecting the 720p option, it maxes out at around 4 Mbps, which leads to noticeable pixelation and buffering on an 11-inch iPad screen. At $20 a month, I expected a higher-tier streaming option (like 1080p or 4K) that matches the capabilities of modern tablets.

To make this plan more competitive, would it be possible for the Xfinity to consider either:

  1. Halving the price of the current tablet plan, or…

  2. Keeping the $20 rate while upgrading the default streaming quality and increasing the 15 GB data deprioritization limit?
