Xfinity is a captive wifi portal which is still not supported by Apple TV. A captive portal is the type of wifi connection that doesn't take a straight password, instead you go to a webpage and have to sign in with a username, aggree to a user aggreement or both. To my knowledge the newest roku 4 and the amazon fire tv/stick are the only streaming boxes that support captive portals. I was really disappointed by this. I recieved an apple tv 4 as a gift but just found out i can't travel with it next week, because most public wifi uses captive portals (hotels and dorms).
