A lot of home tech that we use comes with parental controls<\/a> and some forms of restrictions to avoid large data and power consumption. Another thing is that there are features that are not automated that someone else can control.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why we\u2019re going to discuss how to bypass the <\/span>Xfinity<\/span><\/a> Wi-Fi pause. Why? Because there\u2019s no reason someone should disconnect you from your network. However, there are times when we need to restrict the access<\/a>, so we\u2019re going to show you how to pause it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Xfinity Wi-Fi<\/a> pause feature allows network administrators and home network users to pause devices using the wireless connection. It pauses access to Wi-Fi<\/a> for certain devices and unpauses it.<\/span><\/p>\n So, it\u2019s a feature that\u2019s located in the Parental Controls menu. It\u2019s quite easy to use, and there are multiple reasons for using it. It\u2019s an excellent feature for parents that want their children to study more and for other purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n As said, the purpose of the Xfinity Wi-Fi pause is to disconnect devices that are using the wireless. There are good reasons for this, and these include restrictions and better parental control. It\u2019s great for pausing groups of devices, timed pausing, and pausing large consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n When we want to control Wi-Fi access for a group of devices, this feature comes in handy. We can easily switch off wireless access to multiple devices in our network. If you\u2019re on a limited data plan<\/a>, this can help you a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, it can relieve the stress on network traffic, connecting to the internet more effectively. So, it\u2019s a very neat feature if you want to get rid of wireless leeches. Plus, you can see all the devices on the network.<\/span><\/p>\n Another purpose of the Xfinity Wi-Fi pause is to provide timed pausing for your devices. So, when you don\u2019t want to consume data during the night or some periods during the day, you can pause a group of devices or the entire network.<\/span><\/p>\n This can also be a huge battery saver for your devices because when they\u2019re not using the Wi-Fi some apps don\u2019t work in the background, and this saves power. It also makes a negligible impact on your electricity bill.<\/span><\/p>\n Another significant reason to use the Xfinity Wi-Fi pause feature is to put a scheduled pause on large consumers. There are usually some devices that eat up our data like crazy, and we need to put a pause on those to preserve our package and the amount we pay when we use more than we\u2019re allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended reading : <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n So, it can save you money, and save you from a data cap if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has a fair use policy implemented. This policy allows a limited amount of data for each subscriber.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s quite simple to pause Xfinity Wi-Fi<\/a> using the <\/span>Xfinity app<\/span><\/a>. When you enter the app, you need to go to the <\/span>Devices <\/b>section. You can always tap on the <\/span>Get Started<\/b> option under <\/span>Devices to Personalize<\/b> to get the devices wizard started and assign names to your devices for easier references.<\/span><\/p>\n Next, the only thing you need to do is look at the <\/span>Connected Devices<\/b> section. You\u2019ll notice a green dot next to the devices that are currently connected to your Wi-Fi. Next, to pause a device, select one that has a green dot on the icon.<\/span><\/p>\n Click <\/span>Pause Device<\/b>, and that device won\u2019t have a wireless connection anymore. You can also select a profile of devices and click on <\/span>Pause All Devices<\/b>. You can also specify the time you want the device to be disconnected.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n When you want to unpause the devices, you just need to select the one that has a pause symbol on the device in the <\/span>Paused <\/b>section of the <\/span>Devices <\/b>menu. Then, you simply need to tap on <\/span>Unpause Device<\/b>, or <\/span>Unpause All Devices<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n There are three ways to bypass the Xfinity Wi-Fi pause, and they\u2019re quite easy. So, if you want to have wireless access even when someone pauses your device on the Xfinity app, you can do these three things.<\/span><\/p>\n The first thing you can do is perform a simple disconnect and reconnect your device to the wireless network. This should refresh the settings, and you\u2019ll have a wireless connection on your device again. If this doesn\u2019t work, you can try two more things.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Technitium MAC Address Changer<\/span> is great software that can help you change your MAC address so that the device isn\u2019t recognized by the Xfinity app as the same device. When the MAC address gets changed, the device is under a different name.<\/span><\/p>\n A <\/span>media access control<\/span><\/a> address (MAC) is something that helps network hardware identify the network controller on your device. It\u2019s a unique address that\u2019s usually located on your network card.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s also a possibility to spoof your MAC address manually in Windows 10<\/a>. To do this, you need to go to the <\/span>Search box<\/b> and type <\/span>Device Manager,<\/b> and click on the first result that appears on the list. Then, you need to expand the <\/span>Network adapters<\/b> section.<\/span><\/p>\n Find the network controller adapter and right-click on it. Select <\/span>Properties<\/b>, and click on the <\/span>Advanced <\/b>tab. After that, you need to click on the <\/span>Locally Administered Address<\/b>, and in the <\/span>Value box <\/b>enter a different address.<\/span><\/p>\n You need to have six pairs of digits, and they need to be hexadecimal. There are no spaces, no colons, no hyphens, etc. Finally, just click OK, and you\u2019ll have a new MAC address and be able to use the Xfinity Wi-Fi.<\/span><\/p>\n Now you understand how to bypass the Xfinity Wi-Fi pause, and you know why it\u2019s sometimes good to use it. Apart from saving battery life, you also save data if you\u2019re on a limited plan. It\u2019s simple to pause and unpause devices.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to bypass the pause, just spoof your MAC address or simply disconnect and reconnect to the network. Finally, you can always try accessing the Xfinity app and changing privileges for your device.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A lot of home tech that we use comes with parental controls and some forms of restrictions to avoid large data and power consumption.
