How to Configure an Xfinity Modem to Use with PureVPN

If you’re reading this, I assume you’re either a computer expert or you’ve at least toyed with the idea of becoming one. Regardless, you’re probably aware of the importance of network security and the impact that being unsecure has on our daily lives, as well as how frustrating it can be to try to share information with other devices when you’re not feeling protected. Since our humble beginnings, we’ve been providing secure and private connections between people and devices, which is precisely why we created PureVPN.

Unlike traditional, virtual private networks (VPNs), which are great for personal use but require a bit of an IT skill-set to implement, the service we’re about to discuss is actually incredibly easy to use. Not only that, but with a little bit of preparation, you can have your very own secure connection in no time, even if you’re a novice user. Once you’ve tried it out, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do this sooner!

Step 1: Set Up Your Xfinity Modem

On the off chance that you have a different ISP (Internet Service Provider) or plan on changing your service provider, you’ll want to set up your Xfinity modem to work with one of their, hopefully, supported devices. To do this, you’ll require the assistance of your ISP.

Typically, most people will head to their local store to purchase their devices. However, if you’re planning to do this yourself, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with a variety of products and plans before making a purchase. It’s also a good idea to explore the different types of deals that your plan offers, as sometimes, you can get a discount if you agree to a longer contract period or pay annually instead of monthly.

Step 2: Add The VPN Supplier To Your Online Shopping Basket

Now that you have your Xfinity modem set up, you’ll need to add the VPN supplier to your online shopping basket. To do this, you’ll head over to the vendor’s website and add their service to your shopping cart. Once complete, you’ll see a summary of what you purchased, along with a coupon code that you can use in the next step. Please note that this step is specifically for vendors that provide an installation service, as you won’t need an active Internet connection to use PureVPN.

Step 3: Activate Your Xfinity Modem And Use The Coupon To Configure PureVPN

Once you have your Xfinity modem activated, you can use the coupon code that was provided to you and prepare to configure PureVPN. To do this, you’ll head over to their website and enter the pertinent information required for your device. You’ll then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your VPN and connect to the Internet. If everything goes smoothly, you’ll be able to connect to the Internet via a VPN in no time.

You can also utilize this step to optionally login to your Xfinity account and manage your modem’s settings, if you have one, or to add additional services, such as Netflix, as these can sometimes require extra steps.

Step 4: Test Your Connection To See If Everything Is Working Correctly

Once you’ve set up your VPN and connected to the Internet via it, you can test to see if everything is working correctly. To do this, you’ll simply need to visit a website that’s off-limits to remote devices, such as Hulu or Spotify. If you’re able to access these websites, then your connection is working fine and you can continue using it.

Step 5: Consider Making This Your Main Connection

If you’ve tried out PureVPN and enjoy using it, you may consider making it your main connection. To do this, you’ll need to head over to your VPN’s settings and set it as your default route for connecting to the Internet. You can then follow the instructions provided to you to continue using the service. If you decide to make this your main connection, make sure that you back up your settings first, in case something goes wrong.

Final Takeaway

With the right equipment and a little bit of know-how, you can secure your Internet connection with PureVPN in no time. The service is super-user-friendly and requires minimal effort, which is why many people choose to use it. If you’re looking to add a bit of an IT spin to your life, then this is the perfect service for you.
