The Storm-Ready WiFi is a new device from Comcast that aims to keep customers online during storms and power outages. It is a Wi-Fi 6 extender that works with compatible Xfinity Gateways to create a mesh network and boost connectivity around the home. It also has a cellular backup feature that automatically switches to a 4G LTE network when the broadband connection is lost. The device comes with a rechargeable battery that can provide up to four hours of internet access during a power outage.
The Storm-Ready WiFi is available for purchase starting today for $252 or $7 a month for 36 months. The price includes unlimited cellular data when the device is in outage mode. Customers need to have Xfinity Internet with speeds of 800 Mbps or higher and a leased XB7 or XB8 Xfinity Gateway to be eligible for the device. The device is only available in areas within the range of an applicable 4G LTE cellular signal.
