It is WPA2-Enterprise (AES) even. Which is a reasonably ok

Settings for Windows 8 for Windows are at:

or platforms can be found at:

As it is a thing crossing both Comcast + LibertyGlobal (and one can thus
use Comcast logins on LG Wi-Free and vice versa...), I can only guess it
is the exact same thing.

Still, from a radio perspective and the spectrum being pretty full
already, I don't like it a bit.
