# ISP guidance for multiple IPs

#### Xfinity (Comcast)

1. **Check Availability**:
   * Navigate to Xfinity Support Rate Card and log in with your Xfinity account credentials.
   * Open the PDF file to check if "Additional IP address" is listed as an option.
2. **Request an Additional IP Address**:
   * If available, post a request on the Xfinity forum, specifying your interest in an additional IP address and confirming that you’ve checked the rate card.
   * A Comcast official employee will assist you from there.
3. **Considerations**:
   * Availability may be restricted due to the declining number of public IPv4 addresses. If your area no longer offers multiple IPs, existing add-ons may be grandfathered as long as no changes are made to the plan, account, or equipment​ ([Xfinity Community Forum](https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/internet/answered-how-to-get-multiple-ipv4-addresses-for-your-modem/602daff6c5375f08cd1db24c))​.
