219,000 WiFi hotspots as well as millions of others around the country in places where customers spend time working, shopping, dining and more.

How Home Hotspots work

For customers where the WiFI hotspot has been activated, your XFINITY Wireless Gateway now broadcasts an additional “xfinitywifi” network signal, which is completely separate from your secure home WiFi network. This creates an extension of the XFINITY WiFi network right in your home that any XFINITY Internet subscriber can use.

How to find Xfinity WiFi hotspots

To make it easy to find its WiFi hotspots, Comcast developed the Xfinity WiFi app, which is now available for Android and iOS devices. The app is updated regularly with the latest hotspot locations. Customers also can visit www.xfinity.com/WiFi to locate hotspots and learn more about Xfinity WiFi. To access hotspots, customers should search for “xfinitywifi” or “CableWiFi” on the list of available WiFi networks on their computers and mobile devices. Once customers login to either of these networks, they will be connected automatically the next time they are in range.

For more information, call 1-800-XFINITY or visit www.xfinity.com/WiFi. Small and medium-sized businesses interested in installing hotspots for their customers’ use can call 1-800-501-6000 or visit www.business.comcast.com.
