Deleting, Editing, Creating Port Forward Trouble

Happy holidays to me.

While trying to manage a port forward through the xfi app it says it's having some trouble.

Unsure what the bug is and looking for other posts it's broken for other people as well since the great update.

Why did all of the router management move to a phone app anyways. I understand discontinuing the web/desktop part but removing it from the management panel on the router isn't clear.

If possible escalate the multitudes of tickets of this broken feature.

Hi @user_6c9e90, I'm sorry to hear the port forwarding issue is causing frustration! 

 

Have you attempted port triggering instead of port forwarding? If so, was it successful?

@XfinityGina​ Not sure how triggering would help me. I cannot delete the forwarded ports to add a port triggering. I've unplugged the router for the time allotted and even reset the device to factory settings. Furthermore, I'm just trying to trouble shoot a device acting up that has ports forwarded. When troubleshooting the device, I removed it from my network and use a hotspot on my phone. When using the hotspot, everything resumed normal activity, so I'm thinking the router would be acting up with some setting. I just have no idea what it could be, attached is some photos of the error messages.

I would start a private message, but I am not a Comcast Business subscriber.
My hardware is the Tehnicolor CGM4331COM. The device I am troubleshooting is an Xbox One S. I am still unaware of what's keeping the device from connecting to Xbox Live servers.
I hate to put it in a DMZ.
I still cannot manage the port forwards on the xfinity app.
Who should this be directed towards specifically?
