Xfinitywifi hotspot - limited connection with desktop computer, no login page

Lately I've ebeen trying to connect to a public xfinitywifi hotspot with a Windows 8 computer. It takes a good few seconds to connect, and I ALWAYS end up with a limited connection. It doesn't make a login page appear like it should, either. I'm sure that it's not because I'm too far away because I can place an iPod or my phone on top of my computer and they'll get a perfect connection and have the login page pop up. But this just doesn't happen with my desktop. I get a limited connection and can't do anything, not even log in. What could be causing this, and how do I fix it? Thanks. 

wow. nobody has any ideas on this?

  • How can i get my printer to connect with my computer to print?

    I have a HP photosmart prem-web C309n-s printer. I have two different computers. One is a 4 year old HP laptop, and I just recently purchased an HP touchsmart 320 PC. I installed the printer when I first got this computer, and the printing worked fine from any computer that was in the house. Now, it seems that my printer is not connected with my computer. With my dad's laptop in the house, he had before installed the printer, and when I look up the network on my printer, the only computer that it shows connection with is his. I need to print things for class, and I'm not sure how to make my desktop "visible" to my printer. Please help!!!!

    In the Print dialog box choose "Scale To Fit"

  • Playbook will not connect with Desktop Software

    Playbook won't connect with desktop software any longer. Seems to have started after latest update to 2.0. Still working fine with my Torch 9810, but not with the Playbook. I even tried reinstalling the Desktop software, but no go. Tried to "forget" Playbook, but now I can't even add it as a device any longer!

    possible you need to uninstall Device Manager, not Desktop Software.
    Disconnect the PB from the computer.
    Uninstall the Device Manager.
    Reboot your computer (for good measure)
    Connect the PB using the USB cable.
    Now you should see a PlayBook CD-ROM.
    In that CD-ROM you will find version 7 of the Device Manager, install it.
    Once installed disconnect the PB from the computer.
    Wait for about 15 seconds then plug it back in.
    Windows should detect new device and start Device Manager. It may take up to two minutes for windows to detect and properly install.
    Then device manager will map 'z' drive to the PB.

    As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    I don't want other computers connect with my computer, I don't want sharing my macbook pro, so how I can protect my computer and avoid other people connect with my computers

    As long as you do not enable Sharing of any kind (System Preferences > Sharing) no other computer can connect with yours. Also make sure you have your wireless network protected with a WPA2 password.
    That's all I can suggest without knowing what OS version you are running (you are not running iOS as that is for iDevices).

  • My iPhone won't connect with my computer or charge. How can I fix this?

    My iPhone won't connect with my computer. It also will not charge. I changed the white charging cord, but I have the same problem. I connected other devices to the USB and they work. It's strictly the iPhone.
    How can I correct this?

    I forgot to mention, the iPhone does charge via wall plug.

  • Connecting a desktop computer to the Internet via the Mobile Hotspot?

    Hello,
    I've looked at the other postings about this but I'm still not having any luck....and I'm not really sure who to call for tech support.
    I can connect my laptop to the Hotspot just fine. The desktop computer is another story.
    I bought a Medialink wireless adapter and installed it per the provided directions BUT the connection says that is local only. How do I fix that?
    I don't know for sure a local connection only doesn't allow me to actually connect to the Internet, right? I currently also have AT&T Internet with a router so is that complicating things? I'm going to drop the AT&T soon but I'd like to have this figured out first.
    What do I need to do?
    I have absolutely no idea.....
    THANK YOU!

    A local only connection means you are connected to the device, but the device is not letting you onto the internet.  I'd bet that you have a bogus IP Address and your hotspot has not fully authenticated you to use its internet.
    Make sure you are disconnected from all networks, reboot the computer and hotspot, then try connecting again.  Make sure you are entering the correct credentials to connect to the hotspot.
    Chances are good that the wireless adapter that you are using is the problem here.  If you were going to contact a support number I would start with them.  There might be another way to configure it to play nicely with the Hotspot.  Report back to us if you need more help configuring the hotspot.  We will need to know the specific model number so that we can provide you with specific steps.

  • WRT300N - Problem Connecting With Desktop

    I recently reset my HP desktop to the factory default after experiencing a whole slew of technical issues I had neither intention nor time to deal with. As a result of the reset, I lost connectivity to my host computer which runs a WRT300N Wireless Router. This wasn't a suprise, but I then ran into a few more problems in trying to reconnect. The first issue I experienced was that on my client PC, it wouldn't detect the Wireless PCI Card I previously installed before the factory reset. This was a quick fix, as upon opening the tower, I discovered the card had become disconnected. I connected the card and ran the installation CD successfully. Since the installation program contains a service to select the wireless network you wish to connect to, I did so, and followed the on screen directions to reset my computer. Unfortunately, I was still disconnected from the intended wireless network upon opening up Internet Explorer. I ran the Wirless Zero Configuration service on my computer so I could deal with the wireless networks on more familiar ground. I was completely dumbfounded to what I saw there. It detected the wireless network, but it gives all the wrong information about it. The SSID resembles the actual SSID, but it is not the same. Also, it says that the wireless network is unsecured when, in actuality, is it secured with a WEP Key. I am stumped. A PSP and HP laptop have absolutely no problem connecting  to this network. The problem seems to soley exist with my HP desktop. Any help at all would be great. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Have you tried to install latest drivers for the wireless PCI card.
    Download those from www.linksys.com/download from a computer already online.
    Transfer those drivers to computer with the wireless PCI card, using a flash drive or by burning a disk.
    Uninstall the old drivers from desktop, reboot the desktop computer.
    Install the new drivers and again reboot the desktop computer.
    Now check for available wireless networks and try to connect to wireless network.

  • Limited connectivity with Apple TV 1stG

    Hey folks,
    im running a computer with windows 7. My itunes is connected to an Apple TV of the first generation. Everytime i download a movie or tv show via itunes and synchronize with my Apple TV afterwards, i get a limited connectivity after 5 minutes or so (time varies). Unplugging my wlan stick doesnt help. Neither does a deactivation of my wireless adapter. Only solution for getting my internet back to work is a reboot.
    Anyone knows a fix or has encountered similar problems? Shutting off firewalls and antivirus software doesnt seem to help. A strange thing i observed is that obviously music files or small data volume arent affected by this problem.
