   A confusing issue

   I have been using and Xfinity hotspot for my wireless service for over a year   
   now without issues.  Very strong signal and great speed.  I have my HP laptop,   
   an Ipad mini and my iphone.  All connected without problems.  ( I never   
   understood how I could    
   have that great of service when the nearest hotspot is 1/2 mile away).   
      
   Anyway, there was a storm last week and many people lost power and internet.    
   I had no interruptions where I live but I lost internet for a short period of   
   time.  Then it came back, but only on my laptop.  My Apple devices just say no   
   internet service on    
   the xfinity network.  I can take these devices elsewhere and connect on a   
   hotspot or a home network.  Just not in my apartment.   
      
   The Xfinity "Hot Spot Team" was useless, they couldn't tell me anything.    
   Apple was puzzled as well.  It just doesn't make sense.     
      
   Can anyone here figure this out?  It's driving me nuts.   
      
   Thanks in advance!
