Uhhh, how does that work? I’m hoping separate passwords!
Comcast has been doing this for over a decade I believe. By default their routers advertise a hotspot exclusive to other Comcast subscribers. Not sure the security behind it since it’s not technically a password just authenticate via your Comcast account. But I agree it is crazy lol I had a similar reaction when I first found out.
At least it’s not your own password. Someone with a weak account password might get trouble, hopefully not you,
Yes, it's a different SSID on an isolated network.
