Mac won't connect to xfinitywifi

Hi, my mac computer will not connect to the free hotspot xfinitywifi.  I should be able to access as I am a paying customer of xfinity and have been for years.  My mac however will not connect. Below is the screen that shows up.  There are no buttons, I cannot click or do anything, it's frozen. I have used multiple browsers, restarted, cleared cache, you name it - nothing works.  There is something flawed with the hot spot.  Can you please advise how to connect to it?  I need to access to this.  Thank you.

@XfinityAmir​ I am not using an app.  Do I need to download an app on my MacBook to connect to it?

@user_21fd7b​ I just searched for an xfinity app on my MacBook and it doesn't exist, so I don't know what you are referring to.

That is the captive portal on the Mac.  It should attempt to contact a website from there an take you to a login page such as below.  If your mac is not redirecting, it maybe something on your Mac and not necessarily an Xfinity issue...
