I just purchased Xfinity for a new house and have never had Comcast before. I bought the 250Mpps service and decided on the Advanced Gateway XB6 (Technicolor) as it seemed to have the same mesh functionality I had at my other home. I also ordered Xfi Pods a week later which have not been delivered. In the meantime, I am getting poor Wifi to a main TV in the basement where there is a cable outlet so I pulled out my ActionTech Moca adapter expecting that I could just plug it in and have it work. Well, I get power to the unit but no access at the device once connected to the ethernet cable. Is there something that Comcast has to do? I cannot see anything in the very limited setups in the router that I need to do and the all knowing Internet seems to have little on this specific to the new gateways.
Can they be activated to give me MOCA? Would I be better served to just buy a compatible modem that supports MOCA (would Comcast still have to do something on this setup as well?) and go back to my Orbi setup I was using, or is the Xfi system with Pods about the same? I don't mind the $11 per month if I get good results.
