Connecting Travel Router to Xfinity Hotspot (xfinitywifi)

2022-11-08 01:27:37

Model: TL-WR902AC

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 0.9.1 0.2 v008a.0 Build 191209 Rel.57116n(5553)

I have followed the instructions in the Setup Video carefully. I show that the hotspot is 'connected' but it does not prompt me for my Xfinity credentials. In that 'xfinitywifi' is 5G and an 'open' access hotspot, the expectation is that it will cause a LOGIN page to be loaded on my Windows 10 HP laptop. However, that does not occur.

I can login from my laptop to the xfintywifi hotspot and that works fine. But when I log into the WR902AC 5G and try to connect to xfintywifi, the travel router shows 'connected' to the 5G but I get no access to the WAN.

I am running Surfshark VPN software on my laptop and have tried with it both enabled and disabled. What am I missing?

Hey @Phillip

I found something for you, check the below thread, you need to update the firmware of your router first:

@Liverpool20

Thank you. You are correct, but I did that the the first day. I think that the base address, 192.168.0.1 might also be causing some problems. My home router is a TP-LINK Archer A6 and shares the same base address. But I am getting a network ID10T error and there is a short circuit between my chair and the keyboard. ;)
