Free Wi-Fi hotspots can be helpful for when you need to access the internet on the go but don't want to use up your phone's data to do so. They're also helpful if for some reason your own home wireless network temporarily stops working and you need a backup connection to the internet to finish your work, play games or watch movies.
But free Wi-Fi hotspots aren't always available if you are in a location that doesn't have very many coffee shops or libraries (which often have free Wi-Fi).
But Xfinity Internet customers have another option besides using the free Wi-Fi that's offered by local organizations and businesses. As one of the perks of being an Xfinity Internet customer, Comcast allows its customers to access its internet services on the go, outside of their purchased home networks, by letting their customers log in to the cable company's own Wi-Fi hotspots. These hotspots are called Xfinity WiFi.
What Is an Xfinity Wi-Fi Hotspot?
What Is an Xfinity Wi-Fi Hotspot?
Essentially, Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots are free-to-use wireless networks that are scattered around communities to allow (primarily) Xfinity Internet customers to have access to the internet when they are away from their home wireless networks. The main benefit here is that Xfinity Internet customers should be able to access the internet anywhere that has an Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspot nearby, which can help reduce a customer's overall smartphone data usage.
It's worth noting, however, that Xfinity customers aren't just limited to using their mobile devices with the Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots. Any device (including PCs) can use these hotspots as long as they have wireless capabilities. And you don't necessarily have to be away from home either. In fact, if your home wireless network is acting up, you can use one of these hotspots to connect to the internet until your network is up and running again, provided that your home is located near an Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspot.
How to Connect to Xfinity Wi-Fi Hotspots
How to Connect to Xfinity Wi-Fi Hotspots
• Access your chosen device's Settings. Then turn on your device's Wi-Fi function if it is not already turned on.
• When your device's wi-fi is turned on, a list of available wireless networks should appear on your screen.
• From this list, select the network labeled xfinitywifi. And then, if your device prompts you to do so, select Connect.
• Depending on your device, the default browser on your device may automatically open to display the Xfinity Wi-Fi sign-in portal webpage.
• If it doesn't open automatically, you can trigger the portal webpage's appearance by opening your browser and trying to load a website - xifinity.com/authorize.
• When you do this, instead of loading your test webpage, your browser should instead load the sign in portal webpage.
• Once the sign-in portal webpage loads, log in to the Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspot by typing in your Xfinity Internet customer username and password in the text box fields at the top of the page. Then select Sign In.
• Once you're successfully logged in, the hotspot should be ready to use. Be sure to test it by opening your browser again to load a webpage.
