    Xfinity?

    probably your router is setup to present as a public hotspot but not showing the SSID.

    Xfinity always shows up as Xfinity, though. Unless they have changed that to keep from having people rename their network Xfinity to lure folks into using it for MITM...

    ETA: do you know if that disables one's ability to also use an Xfinity hotspot or just keeps your router from broadcasting as such?

    OP -- log into your router w/ admin creds and see if somehow your network was switched to hidden SSID. Or, do you see your "Network" AND this?
