You can connect to Xfinity WiFi on your tablet for connectivity at home or on the go.
Note: To get the best Xfinity WiFi experience, we recommend downloading the latest Xfinity WiFi app for your Android device (OS version 4.4 and above) or iPad. If you want to connect to Xfinity WiFi for the first time manually, follow the steps below.
Connect to Xfinity WiFi
- Ensure WiFi is turned ON by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
- Once WiFi is turned on, your tablet will detect the wireless networks in range. Find xfinitywifi from the list of available networks and tap it.
- Your tablet will connect to the xfinitywifi network after a few seconds. Once connected, the tablet will show as connected under the xfinitywifi SSID name.
Note: Once you've joined the Xfinity WiFi network manually, your tablet will automatically connect whenever the network is in range an Xfinity WiFi hotspot.
Sign in to Xfinity WiFi
Once you've connected to the xfinitywifi network, simply launch your Web browser and you will be taken to the Xfinity WiFi login page.
- Enter your Xfinity ID and password.
- Enter a friendly name for the device that you are signing in with (e.g. Jen’s Tablet).
- Tap Sign In.
Note: You can recover both your username and your password if you’ve forgotten them. If you’re an Xfinity Internet customer but do not have a username, you can create one here.
Configure your device to use your private WiFi network at home and Xfinity WiFi on the go
If you’ve downloaded the Xfinity WiFi app and signed in, your tablet will automatically connect to your home WiFi network at home and Xfinity WiFi when visiting a friend or around town.
If you haven't downloaded the app and have manually connected to Xfinity WiFi and your home WiFi network, the connection behavior will depend on the order in which you connected to these networks. Most tablets attempt to connect to the most recently connected network that is available.
If your device has not connected to your home WiFi network by default, you’ll need to return to the WiFi menu to view the list of available networks, then switch from xfinitywifi to your home network. If you’ve never changed your home network settings, your network will typically start with the word “HOME” (e.g. HOME-1234).
