Xfinity WiFi Hotspots Network Also Open in Impacted Areas
Comcast has also opened its network of approximately 90,000 public Xfinity WiFi hotspots throughout the impacted areas in Florida for anyone to use, including non-Xfinity customers, for free.
For a map of public Xfinity WiFi hotspots, which are located both indoors and outdoors in places such as shopping districts, parks, and businesses, visit Xfinity.com/wifi.
These hotspots run on commercial power, so those located in areas without electricity will not work until power is restored.
When a hotspot is within range, select the “xfinitywifi” network on a device’s list of available networks and launch a browser. Sign-in options will appear for both Xfinity customers and non-customers.
Xfinity internet customers can sign in with their account credentials and they will be automatically connected to Xfinity WiFi hotspots in their range in the future. Alternatively, they can download the Xfinity WiFi Hotspots app and sign in with their account credentials.
Non-Xfinity internet subscribers need to look for the “Get Connected” section and agree to the Terms and Conditions to be connected.
Please note that if a user does not see the “Accept and Connect” button, the hotspot he or she is trying to connect to is located in a Xfinity customer’s home and is not open to the public.
Non-customers will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every 2 hours.
