Eero not recognized as home WiFi network when attempting to stream TV

I have an Eero mesh WiFi network that is behind an owned Netgear CM2050V MODEM. Literally EVERYTHING works on the WiFi network EXCEPT that I can't stream Xfinity TV channels on the Xfinity web site because Xfinity thinks that I'm NOT on my home WiFi network! This began happening after the "10G" upgrade that was done early in the year. Ever since that upgrade, when I call to "activate" my owned modem, the MTA MAC is listed instead of the CM MAC. When it is change to the proper address and then "activated", it would work for about a week, and then I would suddenly get the notice that I need to be on my home WiFi network. I call, the MAC is wrong. They fix it. It's good for about a week. Rinse and repeat for the past 7-8 months!  That's until 9 days ago when nothing can be done to get Xfinity to recognize that my Eero WiFi network is my home network. Nobody at Xfinity knows what to do.

It's not browser, device, or OS specific. It does it on all platforms.
