Bussiness Customer xfinitywifi Automatic Sign-In
I am a Business Customer.
When using xfinitywifi on my Phone (One+ 7 Pro, Adroid 10) I am required to manually sign in every time. I understand the system should remember my sign-in (see https://business.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/comcast-business-access-public-xfinity-wifi-hotspot/ ) but it does not.
I tried the App but the App seems to not be optimized for Android 10 Power mode etc. and reports high battery usage so that is not an option.
Please check why the system does not remember my signon.
If there is an option to whitelist a MAC address to overcome the issue (I can't find anything like that in my account portal - my previous provider Altice/Optimum allowed whitelisting of 15 MACs) I can provide that via PM.
Thanks for your help

I am afraid no luck:
The secure XFINITY wifi only works with a certificate.
The xfiniti wifi App is incompatible in providing the certificate for Android 10.
So it looks like I am out of luck until comcast either stars providing an interface to authorize MAC addresses (like xfinity residential does) or updates the xfinitiy wifi app so it works with the current version of Android.
Could you plass this along to your development/management teams. It seems a bit strange that residental has better options to use your public hotspots than business has....
If there are any other ideas I will be happy to try...
Have a great day - and thanks for all the attempts at overcoming the issue

Appreciate the update! Thanks for confirming the issue with the certificate on the Android 10 OS.
Our engineers are aware of the issue and we are working on a fix. I heard they are near a hotfix that is expected to roll out sometime January 2020 (fingers crossed), so keep a look out for an app update soon.

Hi Gina,
no update - as per the last exchange - waiting to see when you update the android app...
For now the xfinitywifi still does not remember my login after a day or so...
Happy 2020 to you as well!
