Use Port Forwarding with Rogers Xfinity

Use Rogers Xfinity to set up port forwarding to enable applications like video games, video conferencing and more.

Rogers Xfinity app is available exclusively for Rogers Internet customers with the Rogers Xfinity Gateway modem. Not sure if this is your modem? Check under “Internet” on your MyRogers account.
