xfinitywifi Hotspot not available on 2.4ghz devices.
So, one night I'm using my computer and I'm using xfinitywifi network. Just browsing the internet. I start to get tired and go to sleep.
The next day, I wake up, get on my PC, and xfinitywifi isn't there anymore! My PC is an older one, so it doesn't support 5ghz. Help me please!

Hey there, InternetUser420, thanks for reaching out through our Xfinity Forums platform! I see you are a new poster and we really appreciate you joining the community! Happy posting! We definitely want to ensure you are still able to use the Xfinity Hotspot in your area. The Hotspots are so convenient! Have you attempted to see if you are able to access the hotspot on any other device?

You can get a usb WiFi adapter that supports 5 g fir around $10, just plug it in a unused USB port, if all else fails

AFAIK, they have disabled the 2.4GHz public hotspots systemwide. Don't know if they can be re-enabled selectively.. Hopefully, the employee that responded to you in this thread can help / advise you. Good luck !

You said your pc, I don't know anything about game boxes, sorry, well if your computer has a connection, i know win 10 lets you make a hotspot, maybe your game box could connect thru it, I know it's not ideal, just curious why you don't use your routers ssid to connect

Yes I checked all my other 2.4ghz devices to try with and it's not there. The hotspot I need is for 2807 S Stone St Spokane, Washington, 99223 (not my service address, that's the address I need 2.4ghz to be enabled on).
