Unable to connect to xfinitywifi networks

Hi there,

We've been Xfinity customers for going on 5 years. One of the perks we really enjoy is the xfinity wifi hotspots when we're out and about. We recently moved across the country. Up until that move, both my partner and I were able to sign in to any xfinity wifi hotspots we came across (including the one at our home).

However, now after moving, my partner can no longer connect from their phone to any xfinitywifi hotspots. Connecting to the network, they are prompted to sign in. They get the Sign in to xfinitywifi page. They click "Log in to connect". They are never prompted to enter credentials, they are immediately shown the screen that says "Your Xfinity Internet service is not active".

When I connect from my phone, I sign into the xfinitywifi network, get the "Sign in to xfinitywifi" page, click "Log in to connect" and am prompted to enter credentials. From there everything works fine.

I've never had my partner's phone number listed on our Xfinity account. What gives?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, @turalyon06. As someone who uses the hotspots all the time, I understand how awesome they are. Let's get this fixed ASAP. Is your partner logging in using your credentials or their own username? Have there been any changes to your internet speed tier?

@XfinityEsteban​ Hi there! I can't tell what credentials my partner is using because they are never prompted to enter credentials. I have cleared any saved passwords for Xfinity, but the issue persists.

We have not made any changes to our Xfinity plan since our initial startup.

Gotcha, I appreciate the details. Has your partner attempted using the Xfinity Hotspot app? This link will provide more information.

@XfinityEsteban​ yes, we've tried the hot spot app and it doesn't find any hotspots at our house.

@XfinityEsteban any other things we could try?

@turalyon06, let's look into another option. Firstly, is your partners device the only device you have that is unable to connect? Do you have a separate device such as a tablet which is able to connect without issue?
