It's Magic

Do you know your home WiFi password? You can bet the kid down the block knows it, but when you go to log your 47th mobile device into your home network on Christmas morning, the pressure's really on!

You might have punched it into one of those Dymo labelmakers tapes and stuck the tape on the side of your router. Trouble is, one sultry day, that tape fell off and got suckulated by the vacuum cleaner, so there went that great idea.

Here's good news if you're a Comcast Xfinity customer. And no, the good news is not that they have finally decided to go by just one name. The corporate thinking is, as long as Verizon Fios is dual-named, CX will stick with two too. That's 2.


The good news: this will make you look like quite the Wizard (and I don't mean the supremely bizarre Jeff Goldblum.) I mean, you can dazzle the family AND the kid down the street by grabbing your remote, pressing the MIC button, and saying, "What's my WiFi password?" and in a trice, the information will appear on your screen. 

But so will Jeff Goldblum, if you're not fast enough.
