To reset your Xfinity hotspot, locate the reset button on the device, often found in a small, pinhole-sized opening. Use a paperclip or similar object to press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds until the device restarts. This action restores factory settings, erasing any custom configurations such as Wi-Fi names and passwords. After resetting, you'll need to reconfigure your hotspot settings. If you encounter issues, Xfinity's customer support can offer further assistance.
