Hello, Today another colleague and I discovered the famous 'xfinitywifi' ,'CableWIFi', 'CoxWiFi' and a new one 'XFINITY' on our University campus. After doing some poking around on campus we found these gems (attached picture) on 2 utility poles that pass by our east campus. Standing underneath it I got a -46 RSSI in both 5 and 2.4Ghz, maybe 75-100 yards away inside our hockey fieldhouse, through lots of brick, cinder blocks and metal, I was still picking the 2.4Ghz at -64. Looks like the unit is getting power from the coax. My question is, I've done a little poking around and have not found anything substantial to learn more information about this Comcast program. Any insight would be nice! Michael Voity University of Vermont
