Hello,
Today another colleague and I discovered the famous 'xfinitywifi' ,'CableWIFi=
', 'CoxWiFi' and a new one 'XFINITY' on our University campus. After doing=
some poking around on campus we found these gems (attached picture) on 2 ut=
ility poles that pass by our east campus. Standing underneath it I got a -=
46 RSSI in both 5 and 2.4Ghz, maybe 75-100 yards away inside our hockey fiel=
dhouse, through lots of brick, cinder blocks and metal, I was still picking=
the 2.4Ghz at -64. =20
Looks like the unit is getting power from the coax.=20
My question is, I've done a little poking around and have not found anythi=
ng substantial to learn more information about this Comcast program. =20
Any insight would be nice!
