Connecting Google Nest 3rd Generation Thermostat to Xfinity internet
Connecting Google Nest 3rd Generation Thermostat to Xfinity internet go to the Admin Tool and select Gateway/Firewall/IPv4 and set the firewall security level to Minimum Security (Low) then save. This procedure was obtained from Rashmeet on the Xfinity Support Chat. Previously, I had spent hours with Nest and Xfinity phone help without resolution. Thanks Rasheed

3:32:54 PM Rashmeet : 1. Connect a laptop, computer or mobile device to your home Internet network and open a web browser. Go the Gateway's Admin Tool at http://10.0.0.1 and log in with the following username and password:
* Username: admin
* Password: password
* Note: You will be prompted to change your password the first time you access. Please change the password and, if required, log in to the Admin Tool with the new password.

3:33:49 PM Rashmeet : 4.From there, you can choose IPv4 or IPv6.
3:35:18 PM Rashmeet : 5. After choosing either, you will see the following options:
* Maximum Security (High), which will block most applications except web browsing, email, iTunes and VPN.
* Typical Security (Medium), which allows access to most sites and services, but blocks all peer-to-peer applications.
* Minimum Security (Low), which enables all secure apps. This is the default setting when you first use your Wireless Gateway.
* Custom Security, which will allow you to block individual types of traffic, or disable your firewall entirely.
Please select the Minimum Security
