Need to have a guest account option

It is frustrating to know that we can have only one wifi - where I have all of my personal devices connected. I cannot share that wifi/pswd with random guests. Suggestion ?

FWIW. Their intention is for the additional hotspot that's also broadcasted from your gateway device is to be used as a guest hotspot.

Quite welcome ! It's a additional public WiFi network that is broadcasted from the gateway, but it's separate from your WiFi home network. Look for the xfinitywifi network name (SSID). It's open so no password is needed.

user_6rndby - I hear you and have a solution for you! Many Xfinity Gateways broadcast a WiFi hotspot that can be accessed by guests who are Xfinity Internet customers. To connect to the Xfinity WiFi hotspot network, your guests can simply select the WiFi network labeled Xfinity WiFi, Xfinity Mobile, or XFINITY on their devices. Check out Xfinity WiFi Home Hotspot FAQs for more info!
