blinking orange on Xfinity xFi Pod: The Xfinity xFi Pod shows a blinking orange light while booting up and trying to establish a connection with Xfinity (Comcast).

The Xfinity xFi Pod shows a blinking orange light while booting up and trying to establish a connection with Xfinity (Comcast). If it keeps blinking longer than 10 minutes, the gateway is stuck trying to lock onto the network signal.

Most likely causes

• Xfinity xFi Pod is booting or reconnecting after a power loss
• The coax/DSL/Ethernet line from Xfinity (Comcast) is loose or damaged
• A Xfinity (Comcast) outage in your area
• The firmware is mid-update or corrupted
• The power adapter is weak or failing

Try this first

1. Wait up to 10 minutes — a blinking orange light during startup is normal
2. Check and reseat the cable from the wall into the Xfinity xFi Pod
3. Power-cycle: unplug the Xfinity xFi Pod for 30 seconds, then plug it back in
4. Check Xfinity (Comcast) outage status online or in the Xfinity app app
5. Press and hold the reset button (pinhole reset for 30 seconds) if the light keeps blinking
6. Contact Xfinity (Comcast) support — the gateway may need reprovisioning
