New Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Laptop Windows 10 - Cannot connect to Xfinity Wifi Hotspot

Hi - I'm not having this issue with any of my other devices or laptops. Only this one. I've already tried the solutions listed in the above link for Windows help. Please note that this is not a home network that I am having issues with so re-setting the
routers, etc doesn't apply.

The problem is connecting the Lenovo Yoga with Windows 10 to the Xfinity WiFi hotspot. I can connect to this Xfinity hotspot fine with my android device, my mac laptop, and my other PC laptop (all with old Windows 8.1 or older). So the Xfinity WiFi hotspot
is working fine.

The issue is within the Lenovo Yoga Windows 10 and probably something to do with the wireless network adapter and driver. Or perhaps a pre-configured setting in Windows 10 that is not allowing the connection to the Xfinity WiFi hotspot.

To re-cap, the issue is that I can see the Xfinity WiFi pop up in my list of wireless networks, I click on it to 'Connect'. It spins for a while, but then simply states "Can't connect to this network". It doesn't give me a "limited connection" or anything.
It simply rejects the connection. Something in Windows 10 is blocking it.

Please help.

Thank you.

 

Xfinity Wifi showing up in my routers available internet connections ?


I recently found that "xfinity wifi" is showing up in my available internet access list as an openly available option.
I have comcast xfinity hi speed internet as my internet provider but have never had it show up on the routers available connections list before. The home network I set up years ago has a different name.

I am puzzled why this free open network has suddenly appeared in the list. As it requires no password I think there is a possibility its use might present a security risk
Is this a new Xfinity feature??
