Earlier this year, Rogers announced that it would be bringing Xfinity and Comcast products to Canada. Today, the company has launched Rogers Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi, a new product designed to keep customers connected when there’s an outage.
Rogers Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi brings Rogers advanced network technology together with a device that automatically switches to a cellular backup connection when there’s a network or power outage. The device and battery backup seamlessly keep customers’ homes online so they can work and stream without interruption.
“Storm-Ready WiFi is another Canadian-first by Rogers and an example of the innovative, world-class services Rogers Xfinity delivers to Canadians,” says Tony Staffieri, CEO, Rogers Communications. “We know how essential reliable connectivity is and this product builds on our best internet experience to deliver a product that supports Canadians during the unexpected.”

Rogers Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi delivers extended battery backup so you can keep streaming for up to four hours during a power outage with a rechargeable battery backup. It automatically switches to Rogers cellular network when the power or primary internet service is interrupted with real-time connection and battery status notifications on the Rogers Xfinity app.
With simple and seamless set-up, you can be ready in minutes. It seamlessly integrates with Rogers Xfinity Internet, affording stronger Wi-Fi coverage. It effectively doubles as a Wi-Fi extender as well for everyday use.
Rogers Xfinity Storm-Ready WiFi is now available for customers in British Columbia and will be rolling out across the country in February. Customers can pre-order a Storm-Ready WiFi device today or visit Rogers.com for more information.
