AR750 (Creta) and Xfinity secure Hotspots

WhiskerBiscuit · 2020-07-22T04:30:42.835Z

I’ve managed to get my Creta router to work as a repeater with an unsecured Xfinity hotspot (using the SSID xfinitywifi). But I can’t figure out how to use the secured SSID XFINITY. Are there instructions on how to get this working?

Sorry I have no instructions to use secured ssid of xfinity.

xfinitywifi - this is captive portal - so easy to use…

XFINITY - this is Passpoint/Hotspot 2.0 implementation

Got mine working on AR750 Creta. Used Advanced settings with LuCI to connect it that way. Scan for the right access point under Network then Wireless on 802.11nac click the XFINITY then identity is your Comcast email and password.

i followed this guys guide

Encryption - WPA-EAP
Cipher Force - CCMP (AES)
EAP-Method - TTLS

Will not connect to xfinitywifi AP

The client radio MAC may not be exactly the same as it was with stock firmware. I think you also could install the full wpad and do an Enterprise login instead of MAC registered.

Hello @Jaggsta

Wondering if you could follow up with a bit more detail. Tried what you described and what’s on the OpenWrt page you shared, but can’t get it to work. There are some additional settings when selecting XFINITY that are unclear. For example, when you scan and select join network, it brings up a page asking for name of the new network and firewall zone. Not sure what to select for that.
