Local network management on x1 router now unavailable and telling me to use the android app
I use the local network management tool a LOT (going to 10.0.0.1 in my browser) and now it's giving me the following message:
"Managing your home network settings is now easier than ever. To manage your gateway settings and other features, please download the Xfinity xFi app."
I am not interested in using the xFi app--I check connectivity and set/unset static IPs etc. quite a lot. I need the full management interface, not the bone-simple version on my phone that's also, by the way, sending configuration info back and forth over the internet. I already pay to rent this modem, I want control over what it's doing inside our house. I have the modem with 4 wired gigabit connections as well as the wifi. The only reason we're renting is that Comcast doesn't seem to actually support customer-owned equipment (even approved models), or doesn't do it very well.
This is approaching dealbreaker status. Anyone else seeing this?

You're failing to see the issue and your product.
When the modem is in bridge mode most features of the mobile app will not work. Uninstall/reinstall will not work.
Comcast updated the firmware on the modem at some point locking me (and others) out of the web UI. That is I cant get the modems management page in a browser.
What I want is a fix from the comcast side.
