The XFINITY WiFi by Comcast hotspot service has an app with a Help file that shows a screenshot saying:
You can also select any network listed above the Available Networks option as shown in this example:
Usually all I see is the first item, ‘xfinitywifi’. Oddly, as I hold down the wifi menu the other two items, ‘CafeExpress’ and ’XFINITY’, occasionally pop-up briefly. As shown in that screenshot, only the third has a closed padlock icon.
Questions:
- What is the difference between these items? Is one preferable to the other?
- Why do the second and third pop-up and disappear?
- Does installing the
XFINITY WiFi
app on my Mac affect this situation?
