You don't have access to Xfinity WiFi hotspots

I have active, paid Xfinity Internet at my home and the modem works fine. But when I sign in to a public xfinitywifi hotspot with my Xfinity ID, it tells me I don't have active Xfinity service and won't let me connect.

I used to have two Xfinity accounts at two addresses. I closed one of them, and the hotspot problem started right after that. My best guess is that my Xfinity ID is still linked to the closed account, so the hotspot authentication is checking that stale record instead of my active service.

What I've already tried:
- "Forget" the xfinitywifi network on my device and re-entered my Xfinity ID/password fresh
- Confirmed I'm using my primary Xfinity ID, not a secondary one
- Checked my linked accounts page

This looks like a backend account fix (removing the closed address or re-linking my ID to the active account) that I can't do myself.

Hello, user_tk0fx9! Thank you so much for taking the time to walk us through the issue you’re experiencing with accessing Xfinity hotspots. I know how frustrating that can be, and I’m really glad you reached out so we can help get this sorted out. To better understand what’s happening, when you log in to your Xfinity account online or through the app, do you see more than one account listed, or just your newly activated account?
You also mentioned checking your linked accounts page. Thank you for already taking that step. When you have a moment, could you share a bit more about what you saw there and the steps you followed? That detail will really help us pinpoint what’s going on and get you back up and running as quickly as possible.
We’re here for you every step of the way, and I appreciate your help in troubleshooting this together!
