cableWifi customer support or tech support

cablewifi 3 out of 5 bars on windows 7

This quesion is about customer support or tech support.
I asked other questions about fixing my windows 7 laptop.


My login is 'time warner cable'
I could also do 'xfinity' but have not tried yet

I am connected to hotspot but connection disables and is on just long enough for me to copy paste a question to experts-exchange.

But the ip address changes every hour

I am connecting to optimum wifi hotspot.
I am logging in with 'time warner'
see picture in my first comment
note url and picture of 'time warner'
This is what I found on the Optimum WIFI website:

    Select the TWCWiFi network name from available wireless networks.
    On selecting the TWCWiFi network name, open your browser and the TWCWiFi sign-in portal will appear.
    Sign in using your TWC ID or My Account username and password.
    Accept the terms and conditions and connect.

I would check the Optimum Website for known WIFI hotspots or at least where the signal is the strongest.

Signal is week from 3pm - 9pm probably because peak usage

Do you think I tell optimum to fix?
How?

Manage your home hotspot

Enable or disable your XFINITY® WiFi Home Hotspot feature.
If you choose to enable your XFINITY WiFi Home Hotspot feature, a separate network called "xfinitywifi" will be created for your guests - at no additional charge. Never give out your home network password again, so your private WiFi network will always remain secure. Learn more
Manage XFINITY WiFi Home Hotspot:

Enable my XFINITY WiFi Home Hotspot feature.
 
Disable my XFINITY WiFi Home Hotspot feature.


which makes me think that the hotspot is for guests of the residence or business, not people traveling from place to place looking for wifi
