Guest Home Network Access

We have family visiting from Colombia visiting for a month.

We do not want to give them our home network password.  We have a Comcast gateway system.

Is there anyway to create a home guest network access for them?

Thanks

No. The Comcast rented devices do not support that feature. It is intended by Comcast that the additional WiFi hotspot broadcast (xfinitywifi) is to be used as a guest network.

I thought you had to be an Xfinity customer to use xfinitywifi. They are not.

Could they create a (temporary) new user in their account for the guests and then delete that user when they leave?

In the Xfinity app it shows this. You are supposed to be able to let a guest scan a QR code to access your network. I have not tested it so I don't know how that works.
