Hotspot For Wifi

[Desiderato Merriwether]

HotspotKits are checked out for 30 days and will renew up to three times after the original due date if there are no other customers waiting. Please monitor due dates to avoid being charged the full replacement cost of the Hotspot Kit.

Please take care of your Hotspot Kit. Fees will apply if the Wi-Fi hotspot or any accessory is lost or damaged. Library card privileges will be suspended until the Hotspot Kit is returned or charges on the account are paid.

You can check the availability of hotspots at your local branch by searching "mobile hotspot" in the library catalog or by calling any branch. If hotspots are not available, you may place a Hotspot Kit on hold. Only one hold is allowed per library account. Once you are notified that your Hotspot Kit is available, you will have seven business days to pick it up at your selected library location.

On the printer in the menu system you can configure wifi. When you do it will prompt you to use a phone or other wireless device. You navigate to the access point it suggests (will be something like "ultimaker-44aa". Then open *any* DNS address that isn't https. Probably best to pick one you've never been to such as "aaabbcde.com" and the dns server on the ultimaker will direct the query to it's own ip address automatically.

@HaiderOfSweden - I'm not sure if you are giving us full information. When you say "it doesn't work" we need more details. Did you find the hotspot? What was the name of the hotspot? Did your phone say it was connected? Were you very careful to avoid https? What message did you get on your phone?

People have said that doing a "cura connect reset" makes a world of difference. Some people have to do this several times per week but it works. It works better than rebooting or other "start over" methods. I have never had to do "cura connect reset" and I'm not even sure how to do that but I assume it's in the menus somewhere on the UM3 and S5.

I would start with mentioning that I've done the Wifi Setup before and have succeeded. The printer had been packed down for some time and now I resumed my work. Unpacked, and was ready to go, but failed. Maybe the wifi password was changed since last time, maybe something else.

The browser on your mobile device can still cache pages - in which case it might not work as expected. It is a good idea to clear the browser cache before trying, or as you did, use an url you have not tried before... Making one up should work as well: "iwant.wifi.now"

Making one up also assures it isn't https as most sites these days are https and you can't get to the UM wifi setup web page if you choose an https site. Such as google.com. So making up a new site is best like: a.a

I had this exact same issue, the problem for me was that my Pixel was intelligently noticing that the Wifi network didn't have internet connectivity so was routing all my traffic to my mobile network. Setting my phone to Airplane mode, then connecting to the hotspot fixed this issue for me (Ultimaker S5)

For many months I've accessed a public xfinitywifi hotspot using my tablet which only supports 2.4 GHz wifi. About 3 weeks ago it stopped being able to connect to it. In fact it doesn't even show up on the list of available networks. Yesterday and today I checked it out again using my phone (which supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi) and found that the hotspot was no longer broadcasting on 2.4 GHz. Only on 5 GHz. The phone connected to it just fine on 5 GHz. So it seems like the hotspot is still functional, but has stopped broadcasting on 2.4 GHz. How can I get it to resume operation on that frequency?

As background, this hotspot is on a utility pole in a commercial/industrial park, and not associated with any of the nearby businesses (I checked with all 3 nearby businesses and all use Verizon as their ISP). I used the signal strength of the 5 GHz wifi from the hotspot to pin down its position to the pole (the signal is -40 dB at the pole and between -55 and -60 dB near the adjacent buildings).

I have tried contacting Comcast technical support by phone, but can't get through the automated system as it does a check on my home internet and tells me that all is ok. I got through to Comcast technical support chat from Facebook, and was told that all hotspots where associated with homes or businesses and that they couldn't do anything about how they worked (I think they were just blowing me off).

Finally I have found someone experiencing and explaining EXACTLY what has occurred to me in the last 2 weeks, only, this is happening to my xfinitiywifi SSID being broadcast from my home router. Both xfinitywifi and XFINITY can only be connected to via 5Ghz devices. Devices that are 2.4Ghz can not even see these SSID's to connect to them. VERY frustrating.

As I explained earlier in this thread, I am not trying to access a hotspot eminating from either another customer or a business. The hotspot is located on a utility pole outside in the open, and no customer or business within a quarter mile has Comcast internet service (they all use Verizon).

I do not understand the distinction between a public hotspot and a Comcast Gateway, so I can't address which of those I am using. As I wrote, the address listed on the Xfinity Hotspot app is 99 Airpark Road, Princeton, NJ 08540 (this in not where I have my xfinity internet service). I have attached a screenshot from the app showing the hotspot and its address. I have also attached a screenshot of details about the hotspot from the app where it confirms that the hotspot is located outdoors, not inside a customer's or business' facility.

So, summarizing, the xfinity hotspot that I had been accessing on 2.4 GHz and would like to access again on 2.4 GHz is not affiliated with any Comcast personal or business customer. It is located outside in the open and at least a quarter mile from any other location with Comcast internet service. So it must be under direct Comcast control, as there is no one else to control it. How can I get Comcast to restore service on 2.4 GHz from this hotspot.

Yes, the hotspot is at an airport, but it is not affiliated with any of the businesses there. I spoke with all 4 businesses on the aiport and none of them have Comcast service...all use Verizon (the airport, itself, a car rental service, an electrician contractor, and a roofing and gutter contractor). So it doesn't seem to be affiliated with any Commercial entity.

Same mine just disabled few days ago on 2.4ghz hotspot. Looks like all apartments around me disabled 2.4ghz hotspot from WIFI Scanner only see 5ghz hotspots. My Private 2.4ghz still broadcasting so comcast has disable the 2.4ghz hotspot for some reason. I even tried factory resetting the gateway and turning hotspot features on and off. So now older devices can't use xfinity hotspot unless get 5ghz adapter for them.

Tech support from Comcast have repeatedly insisted to me that they do not have any control over hotspot operation. That all of them are located in residential or commercial entities and that the Comcast customer controls if and on what band a hotspot is broadcast. That doesn't seem to be the case in your situation, as you haven't made any changes to your router and it stopped broadcasting on the 2.4 GHz band on its own (or more likely under Comcast's command).

In my case I know that the hotspot is not affiliated with any entity in the vicinity, as there are no residences within a half mile, and none of the businesses within about a quarter mile are Comcast customers. The hotspot is on its own located on a utility pole out in a driveway at least 30 ft from the nearest building.

Have you tried posting a new thread on your experience? Maybe a tech support person will respond and with your information you can at least prove that the change was not made by you. At that point I would expect them to find another creative excuse to do nothing. But at least you can try.

Having the same problem with travel router tl-wr902ac. It will bridge to xfinitywifi 5ghz but cannot get an IP address (all zeros). It works if I put in a static address, but this is not a solution. Why can't it get an IP address on 5G? (It used to get IP addresses on 2.4G).
