If you’ve opted instead for self-installation of your Rogers Xfinity products, follow the self-install instructions.
Preparing for your Rogers Xfinity Professional Installation
Set up your MyRogers account
Before your technician arrives, make sure you can access your MyRogers account and download the to your smartphone. MyRogers gives you access to the Rogers Xfinity app required to complete your installation, as well as access to the Rogers Xfinity Stream app for access to your entertainment on the go.
You can set up or sign into your MyRogers account.
Follow these steps
- Someone over the age of majority must be present during the installation and have permission to access your MyRogers account and the Rogers Xfinity app during the setup process.
- If the homeowner is unavailable during the appointment, a Letter of Permission is available here, and must be signed and presented to your technician to complete certain work (drilling, running new cables, placing temporary lines, etc.).
- Make sure all outlets, coax cables and phone wall jacks that need to be activated for your services are easily accessible for the technician.
- Secure and/or separate any pets from your technician and the workspace during the installation.
- Ensure there are no condo or property restrictions for camera installation and that power outlets are located close to where your Rogers Xfinity Camera will be installed. If your current doorbell isn't set up with a working chime and the appropriate voltage level (16 to 24 volts), you'll need to arrange for your electrician to install proper wiring before your Rogers technician appointment.
