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

Alan,

Once you are connected to the Comcast hot spot you should get a comcast
welcome page on a web browser and it should prompt you to enter your user
name and password. You would enter your Comcast user name and password.

That's all I have done in the past to get connected.
