Last Sunday, Comcast, unbeknownst to me, and without my permission, turned on a wifi hotspot in my house (in north Atlanta). Causing all sorts of wifi connectivity problems. A new network appeared called xfinitywifi. Did Comcast find a channel that didn't cause channel conflict? Of course not. Channel one. Not knowing what Comcast was up to, I assumed my Airport had failed and spend a couple hours swapping it for a new one. Of course, same problem. Finally resolved the channel conflict and all is working Ok now. But thanks Comcast for ruining my Sunday.

I hope that it always defaults to channel one. That way in an apartment complex all the xfinitywifi can conflict with eachother and at least leave some channels open for real wifi networks.
