Solved Switching providers, FreeBSD will not connect to new provider on WiFi.

I'm moving from AT&T to Comcast XFinity service and I'm having problems getting my FreeBSD machine to connect to the Comcast WiFi. I think it's a configuration issue, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. This connects just fine to AT&T.

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
  ssid="XXXXXXXX"
  scan_ssid=0
  psk="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
  priority=5
}

/etc/rc.conf
Code:
# WiFi
wlans_ral0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

ifconfig wlan0 list scan
Code:
CHAN RATE    S:N     INT CAPS
6   54M  -56:-95   100 EPS  HTCAP WME RSN WPS
6   54M  -56:-95   100 EPS  HTCAP WME RSN WPA
6   54M  -56:-95   100 EPS  HTCAP WME RSN
6   54M  -56:-95   100 EPS  HTCAP WME RSN
11   54M  -60:-95   100 EP   RSN BSSLOAD HTCAP WME

Both networks are WPA2. All the channel 6 WiFi is the Comcast router. The channel 11 WiFi is the AT&T router. The only real difference that I see is that AT&T has the BSSLOAD capability while the Comcast one doesn't. Beyond that, I don't see what the issue is.
 
Here's my Spectrum Internet wireless config. exactly as prepared for me by the 13.0 installer. Works fine with my builtin Atheros wireless device. I've never configured wireless for Comcast but I'm thinking they might be very similar.
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
    ssid="xxxxxx"
    scan_ssid=0
    psk="xxxxxx"
    priority=5
}
network={
    priority=0
    key_mgmt=NONE
}

/etc/rc.conf
Code:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
create_args_wlan0="country US"
 
I figured it out. Turns out that the SSID has spaces in it. For some reason, this wasn't readily apparent using the terminal emulator from Windows. When I logged into the machine's console, I could see the spaces. That would explain why I couldn't connect. It's working now. Thank you to everyone who responded.
