Cannot connect to my personal wifi, stuck on "Welcome to Xfinity!" page

I have a Xfinity router. Every time I try connecting to the wifi network (It's named "XFINITY-....") it sends me to

http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204

I have a Samsung Tablet S7 FE, and two standard laptops, and an iPhone.

It's not my router's problem. I have 2 laptops. The first one can connect to "XFINITY-...." (without needing to download any app), the second can only connect to "XFINITY" (it's stuck on the page, and there's no app to download). The iPhone can only connect to "XFINITY" (the app does nothing). The Samsung Tablet can only connect to "xfinitywifi" (the app does nothing, and "XFINITY" refuses to connect due to "incorrect credentials" despite that I tried the exact same credentials on the iPhone and the second laptop!).

Why??

@XfinityJanelle​ I am having a similar issue, still. I had to get a new modem and have it hooked up and it is working. I am able to connect and use the internet on my computers, but my mobile devices will not connect and get stuck at the Welcome to Xfinity page when selecting the WiFi connection. The xfinity app will not connect either.

@ben4322​ I have tried forgetting the network and rejoining. I even tried resetting the mobile device network settings and still the same.

That may not be your home network WiFi broadcast name. That may be the additional public WiFi Hotspot broadcast name. You need to connect to whatever your home network's broadcast name is. The default name should be what is on the label unless you changed it to something else.

@EG​ Yes, I know the difference between xfinitywifi, XFINITY, and XFINITY-XXXX. I tried connecting to XFINITY-XXXX where XXXX are four alphanumeric characters.
