Because the TPMC-10 is perhaps hands-down the worst touchpanel Crestron ever sold and has absolutely horrid wireless performance under virtually any conditions (Having not ever seen/used the Viewsonic product that the TPMC-10 is built upon, I'm inclined to believe that it was a Viewsonic design issue and not the fault of Crestron, since in that case it's pretty much Crestron software running on top of a Viewsonic Windows CE build as far as I can tell).
(Wow that was a longer rant than I expected).
Depending on the version of TPMC-10 it has either a "B" radio or a "B/G" radio. If it has a B radio and the Comcast WAP is only advertising support for "G" speeds [a trick to improve performance because in with a B/G WAP if /any/ device requests "B" support all devices are speed restricted to B speeds -- sort of like a grandma driving 25 on a 1-lane road with a 50 MPH speed limit] -- if that is done, "B" only devices won't be able to see/associate with the WAP. Is the Comcast device also "N"? That may also factor in to it.
That said there could be other factors in play. I got second handed an original ("B"-only) TPMC-10 and with it 18" away from a Cisco AP configured to do A/B (no "G" or "N") only it still only sees it maybe 1 in 10 times and I don't think I've ever gotten it to successfully connect. But at the moment I have no shortage of panels, so I'm more inclined to bin it rather than waste more time on it or inflict the pain on a 3rd party.
Get an 8X-GA or if you must, an iPad. I think a TPMC-10 is one of the few cases where a iPad would be better than the Crestron product.

Hey All,
Does any one have any idea why a TPMC-10 is unable to even see the Xfinity/Comcast access point but is able to find and connect to a Netgear access point?
Thank you,
