Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi has status lights that behave differently depending on the status of the device. As the status changes on the Storm-Ready WiFi device, status lights on the Xfinity Gateway and Battery Backup will also behave differently.

Normal network operation (WiFi extender)
When there are no outages, Storm-Ready WiFi acts as a WiFi extender. It works with the Xfinity Gateway and 2nd-generation WiFi Boost Pods (if installed) to provide whole-home WiFi coverage.
Network outage
During a network outage, Storm-Ready WiFi provides an LTE internet connection to the Xfinity Gateway. The Xfinity Gateway, Storm-Ready WiFi and 2nd-generation WiFi Boost Pods (if installed) continue to provide whole-home WiFi coverage.
Power outage
When the Xfinity Gateway and 2nd-generation WiFi Boost Pods are down because of a power outage, Storm-Ready WiFi becomes the home WiFi gateway using the LTE internet connection and Battery Backup.
