Remove xfinity Wi-Fi From Network List
I had a case not too long ago where my windows system was defaulting to xfinity wifi every time my Wi-Fi signal was lost.
Didn’t want to deal with it, and decided to remove it from my list of Wi-Fi networks.
Not to mention, in the apartment complex where I live a bunch of dumb-asses have vulgar names for their networks, thinking they are clever. Didn’t want my friends’ kids to see idiotic names, so here is the solution I put to use to block xfinity, and other networks.
1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator
2. Type this in:
|
1 |
netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="xfinitywifi" networktype=infrastructure |
Of course you can block as many Wi-Fi networks as you please.
To unblock:
|
1 |
netsh wlan add filter permission=allow ssid="xfinitywifi" networktype=infrastructure |
View a list of blocked wifi networks:
|
1 |
netsh wlan show filters |
Note: ssid=”wifi name” replace “wifi name” with a Wi-Fi name you wish to block, and that’s the end of it.
