[Scan-DC] xfinity wifi / cable wifi / cox wifi

[Alan Henney]

I have noticed in many neighborhoods hotspots with these identities, and they are often deployed together.

They appear on the cable line, a small plastic enclosure often near the pole.

Now that we have Comcast service, I would like to use this.  But after two calls to Comcast tech support, they keep sending me off with useless info.

One tech told me I needed to download the Comcast app.  Another told me I needed to log on using a user name and password and he created me one for e-mail.  They seem clueless what I am talking about.

I can select the unencrypted xfinity hotspot, but if I start a browser, I am not able to log on or connect to anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
