Xfinity App Missing Bottom Menu

I have no bottom menu so I cannot manage anything for my router and account in-app. I also called text support and they were no help and nothing was fixed... FIX MY STUFF I CAN'T EVEN USE MY ROUTER CORRECTLY!!!!

With tech support they just treated me like I am stupid and kept telling me to click on the connect button on the bottom menu but as you can see in the screenshot below it doesn't exist!

I need to edit my port forwarding etc.... 

Also before I am told to do it through the router I cannot because I get this:
And before anyone tells me to use the website I can't because it tells me I HAVE to use the app:

@XfinityDilary​ I'm having the same issues started the same time as I upgraded from a standard modem to a xfi unit. Both were rented but my app worked fine before I upgraded.

I already figured it out no thanks to anyone at xfinity... it's pretty bad when a customer can debug an app but they cannot.

it's because it gets hidden when you turn on bridge mode on your modem. The problem is even if you turn it off on the modem the app still doesn't show the bottom bar.

The only fix I've seen is to activate a brand new modem and it shows up.

I decided to just buy my own modem over renting so I no longer have the issue and don't use this bad app.

Tldr Bridge mode if turned on once perm disables the bottom buttons in the application and disabling it will not bring it back.

@user_25972a​ I have ran into this problem too. I wanted to activate xfi pods, but nope. No bottom menu. I did recently have bridge mode activated, but have since turned it off. oh well

@user_25972a​ That's exactly what caused my issue as well. The tech team fixed it for me by reactivating my xfi modem, because I'm not good with things like that. Took forever though.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm running into the same thing. So frustrating. I've been on the support team for 2 days now getting promised call backs from Level 3 support only to get blown off 3 times!

I just bought my own modem and returned the xfinity one. 

You'll need to call them and let then know even after bridge mode is off the app still acts like it's on. They need to allow you to reactivate your modem in order to regain access to the app.
