Connect to in-home WiFi to watch

I stream Xfinity on my laptop, and I'm getting the message "Connect to in-home WiFi to watch" more and more. I'm at home, using WiFi, so I'm not sure what this message means. Also, I have a filter set up to only show me programs that are free to me/included in my subscription.

 

I called customer service, but the automated system just keeps telling me to reset this, unplug that, call us back later, and then they disconnect. I can't reach an actual person. 

 

I see so many people post about this, but I've never seen a resolution. Does anyone know why this started happening and if Xfinity plans to fix it?

if you use a smart phone/tablet does it connect normally or does it too think you are not at home?
