Xfinity WiFi Hotspots Remain Open in Spokane Through Aug. 17

As fires continue to impact the Spokane community, Comcast has extended the opening of more than 11,000 public Xfinity WiFi hotspots through August 17th. The hotspots are available for anyone to use, including non-Xfinity customers, across the affected areas of Spokane County. Comcast will continue to closely monitor the situation and extend availability again if needed.

How to Get Connected

For a map of public Xfinity WiFi hotspots, which are located both indoors and outdoors in places such as shopping districts, parks, and businesses, visit the Xfinity WiFi Hotspot Map. Enter your zip code, zoom in on the interactive map to view the results, and click on the locations for details.

When a hotspot is within range, select the “xfinitywifi” network on a device’s list of available networks and launch a browser. Sign-in options will appear for both Xfinity customers and non-customers.

• Xfinity customers can sign in with their account credentials, and they will be automatically connected to Xfinity WiFi hotspots in their range in the future. Alternatively, they can use the Xfinity app to securely and automatically connect to Xfinity WiFi hotspots

• Non-Xfinity Internet subscribers need to look for the “Get Connected” section and agree to the Terms and Conditions to be connected. Non-customers can renew their complimentary sessions every 12 hours.

**Please note that if a user does not see the “Accept and Connect” button, the hotspot he or she is trying to connect to is in an Xfinity customer’s home and is not open to the public.

For assistance, customers can chat online with an agent, visit Xfinity.com/response or connect with Comcast on Twitter at @xfinitysupport.

Pro Tip — Sign Up for Alerts: Power companies and internet service providers often offer outage maps and status notifications. For example, Xfinity customers can log into their account at xfinity.com/myaccount or via the Xfinity app to sign up to receive text alerts to stay updated on when service will be restored. To receive text alerts from Xfinity about service outages, ensure your mobile number is registered in your Xfinity account. You can do this through the Xfinity app.
