I can guarantee that you are not getting into my network. Password protect your network.

Below is a list of the WiFi Networks that I can see from my desk at home. These are all neighbors. Thirteen of the networks are all on "Channel 1", eleven are on "Channel 1", seventeen are on "Channel 6".

Even if your network is "secure", if you are on the same channel as your neighbor your internet will be effected. Three of the printers are TOTALLY INSECURE and I could print to them all day long. The "CenturyLink" folks (as well as the Comcast) simply do not have a firewall protecting them from the outside world.

Simple solution? If you only connect to "xfinitywifi" unplug your cable modem and see if you still connect. If you do, take your modem back to Comcast and save your money. You dont know if you are connected to yours or your neighbors anyway ($120 a year). If you are on "xfinitywifi" I sure as heck would not pay my bills or do banking on the WiFi network...being, again, as you do not know what network you are even on.

Do you like your neighbor? Trust them? Known them for years? Split is and share...it is easy and even more secure than this Comcast fiasco that is going on currently.
