This is the first I've heard about the XB7 or XB8. I understand they have no port to plug in a hard drive to let several computers in the network share the same files.  Is there another way to be able to do this?

I don't think 'Email' is the correct forum for this request. I'm asking to unblock a port that just happens to be used by email, but really has nothing to do with 'email' as far as Comcast is concerned. It's a internet-service level request.

95Mbit seems like whatever Ethernet port on your computer is being used is limiting itself to 100Mbit. You need to make sure it's Gigabit capable and running in the proper mode. Some info here: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-determine-wi-fi-and

Arris SB8200 Problems

Hello, I upgraded my service to 400Mbps a while back but never got more than about 100 Mbps. I had a service tech out who said that my modem was too old (it was DOCSIS 2) so I upgraded to an Arris SB8200. Recently, I have been having a lot of connection issues, and even when plugged directly into

Yes this is an Xfinity device. The sticker on the side shows two SSIDs and what I assume is the password for those. I need the password for the gateway admin site of the router so I can add some port forwards and the like.
