Save your plan wording, repeatable measurements and support reference before asking for an investigation. Applies to: Xfinity Gateways XB6, XB7, XB8 and XB10 with the current Xfinity app (menus as of 2026). Older XB2 and XB3 gateways show more settings in the Admin Tool. · Checked 3 November 2026. ### Check your Xfinity Gateway These checks apply to Xfinity Gateway. Check the model before following its menus. 1. Open the Xfinity app; an outage banner appears if your area is affected. 2. Tap **View outage details** for the cause and estimated fix time. 3. Without the app, use the Xfinity Outage Map on xfinity.com/support, or text `OUT` to `266278`. 4. To see your public IP, tap **WiFi › View WiFi equipment › Advanced Settings › LAN & WAN**. ### Separate the service from your home Wi-Fi For the exact settings and supported equipment, see [the Xfinity Gateway guide](https://kilobat.app/routers/xfinity-gateway). Do not factory-reset the equipment as a first step. A reset can erase service settings and interrupt phone service. 1. Compare a wired connection to the router with Wi-Fi on the same device. 2. Repeat the same test server during the slowdown and at a quieter time. 3. Record download, upload, latency and whether another household device was using the connection. ### How to complain to Xfinity Use [Xfinity’s official support](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/check-service-outage) to report the fault. Request a formal complaint reference if it remains unresolved. Include the plan wording, dates, test conditions, previous references and the specific outcome you want. Ask for a written response. For the local escalation route and conditions, follow [the United States complaint guide](https://kilobat.app/guides/us-internet-speed-fcc-complaint). ### Collect the evidence with Kilobat On a Mac, Kilobat can record connection checks and produce a support report.

[Kilobat Pro’s complaint wizard](https://kilobat.app/internet-complaint) helps assemble your evidence, impact and requested resolution into a draft you review and send. Measurements cover this Mac while monitoring ran. They cannot prove whole-home uptime, establish provider fault or replace a required official measurement procedure. **Provider sources (12)** - [Xfinity Support: Allow Xfinity WiFi Gateway Admin Tool online access using the Xfinity app ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/admin-tool-access) - [Xfinity Support: How to restart your Xfinity Gateway ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/troubleshooting-your-cable-modem) - [Xfinity Support: Overview of Xfinity WiFi Gateways and Routers ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/broadband-gateways-userguides) - [Xfinity Support: Manage users and devices with the Xfinity app ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfinity-xfi-manage-profiles) - [Xfinity Support: Configure device discovery in the Xfinity WiFi Gateway Admin Tool ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/configure-device-discovery-for-wifi) - [Xfinity Support: Set up port forwarding using the Xfinity app ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfi-port-forwarding) - [Xfinity Support: Using Boost a Device in the Xfinity app ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/how-to-boost-wifi-device) - [Xfinity Support: Changing advanced WiFi settings in the Xfinity app ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfi-advanced-settings) - [Xfinity Support: How to change your home network’s WiFi channel selection or mode ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/change-wifi-mode-admin-tool-xfinity-xfi) - [Xfinity Support: Xfinity WiFi Extenders FAQs ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/xfi-pods-faqs) - [Xfinity Support: Help guests access your home WiFi ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/help-guests-get-online) - [Xfinity Support: Check for a service outage ↗](https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/check-service-outage) Your rights and escalation route ## What to do if the provider does not fix it Rules depend on where the service is supplied and on your agreement. These jurisdiction guides explain the documented process and link to official sources. **Slow internet in the US: build a speed complaint for your ISP and the FCC** Start with your own service agreement and repeatable measurements. The FCC accepts internet speed and latency complaints; a complaint is not a guaranteed refund. ### Save the plan and broadband label Keep the plan name, advertised and typical speed wording, price and relevant terms. Record when and where you obtained the information. Do not turn a typical speed into a guaranteed minimum unless the agreement actually makes that commitment. ### Ask your ISP for a specific investigation 1. Compare Ethernet and Wi-Fi on the same device. 2. Repeat the test when the problem occurs and during a quieter period. 3. Ask the ISP to check the provisioned plan, line signal and local faults. 4. Save the ticket number, promised follow-up and written response. ### Choose the matching FCC complaint issue The FCC internet form includes speed issues, including advertised-speed and latency concerns. Other categories cover billing, equipment and availability. Describe your own experience and attach relevant evidence. State law, service terms and the circumstances affect possible remedies. ### Prepare your complaint Use the [complaint template](https://kilobat.app/guides/broadband-complaint-letter) to state the problem, evidence and requested resolution. Keep the tone factual. You can collect evidence without Kilobat. If you use a Kilobat report, review it before sharing and add your test conditions. ### Still stuck? You can ask for help at [ping@kilobat.app](https://kilobat.app/internet-problems#ask). Send your symptoms and reviewed test results, with or without Kilobat. ### Official sources - [FCC: internet complaint issues ↗](https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/115002206106-Internet-Form-Descriptions-of-Complaint-Issues) Find the failing hop ## Give support something they can investigate. When a connection fails, Kilobat checks your Mac’s Wi-Fi, router, internet access and DNS in turn. That helps separate a local signal or router problem from a fault farther along the route.

Kilobat Pro can assemble a reviewed PDF complaint pack with measurements, an incident timeline, your plan details and the remedy you request. You decide what to include and send it yourself.
