How to install Xfinity internet with DirecTV\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re moving to a new home, you may be wondering what to do about your internet service. If you have an Xfinity Internet\u00ae account and a DirecTV&#x2122; provider, you may be considering whether or not you can use DirecTV coaxial cable rather than running new wiring. Thus, how can I install Xfinity with DirecTV?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xfinity offers customers the option of using the existing coaxial cable that they have installed in their homes, which is typically used for devices like cable television receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This coax will work with the Xfinity service. Plus, installation is cheaper and faster than running new wires. Here are some tips on how to set up your DirecTV and Xfinity services so everything runs smoothly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you haven\u2019t already done so, <strong>call both your phone company and internet service provider to let them know<\/strong> when you plan on moving. This will help them schedule the move.<\/li><li><strong>Ask your current providers<\/strong> if they offer any deals or discounts for services if you sign another contract with them before switching providers.<\/li><li><strong>Purchase an Ethernet cord<\/strong> that fits with your modem from a third-party vendor like Amazon \u2013 this way if something goes wrong with the connection then it won\u2019t be as expensive for repairs because it won&#8217;t require a technician<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

moving into a new home, one of the first things that you may want to consider is your internet service. It\u2019s important to get your internet set up quickly in your new home so that you can get back to work, watch television shows, or do anything else online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have an Xfinity Internet account and a DirecTV provider, you may be considering whether or not you can use DirecTV coaxial cable rather than running new wiring.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it\u2019s important to realize that Xfinity offers customers the option of using the existing coaxial cable that they have installed in their homes, which is typically used for devices like cable television receivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_set_up_Xfinity_and_DirecTV\"><\/span>How to set up Xfinity and DirecTV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use your DirecTV coaxial cable to connect your Xfinity modem instead of running new wiring. This is a great option if you\u2019re moving into a new home, and it\u2019s also an easy way to set up the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To begin with, make sure that the coaxial cable going into your home is wired correctly\u2014any devices connected should be using a standard 75-ohm coaxial cable. You will need to consult an electrician if you are not in a position to do this yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have confirmed that the cable is wired correctly, you\u2019ll need to plug in your modem and install your software (if necessary).

However, you can operate them using separate coaxial cables.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s possible to use DirecTV coax to connect your Xfinity service. If you have an existing cable line in your home, running the wire is considerably cheaper and faster than running new wires<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, it provides a backup in case of power outages and other potential problems with your service. Here are some tips on how to set up your DirecTV and Xfinity services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Unscrew the coaxial cable from the back of your old device. You&#8217;ll want to unscrew it as close to where it connects to the wall as possible so you can use the same cable for your new installation.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_use_DirecTV_coax_cable_for_the_Internet\"><\/span>Can you use DirecTV coax cable for the Internet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an Xfinity Internet account and a DirecTV provider, you may be wondering whether or not it is possible to use your existing DirecTV coaxial cable instead of running new wiring.

It is important, however, that you have an active <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xfinity.com\/learn\/internet-service\/deals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xfinity Internet subscription <\/a>in order to do so. You will need to purchase and install the following items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>One coax cable that is long enough to reach from your modem or gateway to the TV<\/li><li>A coax adapter<\/li><li>Coax-to-Ethernet converter (optional)<\/li><li>A coax splitter (optional)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also need a new coaxial outlet installed near your existing DirecTV receiver. If you have a satellite dish, this will be on the side of your home and should not be an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have a roof-mounted antenna, the coax outlet will be on the same side of your home as the antenna. Contact Xfinity for more information about getting an outlet installed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is connecting all of these devices together. The first thing you\u2019ll want to do is connect one end of the cable to your modem or gateway, then connect an adapter (or converter if you have one) to one end of the cable and plug it into an open port on your TV set or another device like a gaming console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugin two splitters at the end of the cable before splitting it off into two cables going into two different parts of your house if desired. You can then use these cables for other devices like a BluRay player or PlayStation 4\u00ae system by connecting them directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To install Xfinity Internet, you will need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Schedule an appointment with Xfinity to have a technician come to your home.<\/li><li>Have the technician connect the coaxial cables you currently have installed in your home.<\/li><li>Connect a power source and modem.<\/li><li>Unpack and configure your equipment.<\/li><li>Complete the setup process by following the instructions on-screen and answering any questions asked by the installation wizard.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to be sure you get your service up and running as soon as possible, schedule an appointment with Xfinity today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can also<a href=\"https:\/\/abodeinternet.com\/setup-xfinity-internet-without-coax-cable\/\"> setup Xfinity Internet without a coax cable:<\/a> if you go for fiber internet or by following the other tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_have_Xfinity_Internet_and_DirecTV\"><\/span>Can you have Xfinity Internet and DirecTV?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DirecTV and Xfinity can work together.

It will either be an RF coax cable or a fiber optic one.<\/li><li>If you have an RF coax cable, then you can run it through the wall and out of sight where your TV is located. Make sure that you don\u2019t cover up any vents in walls or furniture and make sure to seal off any holes with drywall.<\/li><li>If you have a fiber optic cable, then you\u2019ll need to drill through the sheetrock and into the room where your TV is located (you may want to get help from someone who has experience drilling through sheetrock). Once it goes through, pull up enough wire so that there\u2019s slack at each end of the wire when it comes out of the wall. You can use wire clips to secure it in place (make sure not to pull too hard on the wire).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_Xfinity_and_DirecTV\"><\/span>What is the difference between Xfinity and DirecTV?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DirecTV provides customers with the means to watch live television and other programs on their televisions.
