Advanced Security
The Advanced Security keeps turning on even after I turn it off. Everyday I turn it off & within the next 30mins-12 hours I will find it activated again. I do not want this feature on. I run my own Pi-Hole DNS, adblocker, malware blocker on a Raspberry Pi. I do not want Xfinity protecting/monitoring my traffic. I have re-installed the Xfinity App. I have reset the modem to factory defaults and no matter how many times I turn it off Advanced Security keeps turning back on by itself.

As long as you are using their rental gateways they will continue to mess with the settings. The only way to avoid that is to buy your own equipment at retail and return theirs. See https://www.xfinity.com/support/devices and especially the "All Compatible Devices" link near the bottom of that page (at the moment that link points to https://assets.xfinity.com/assets/dotcom/projects/cix-4997_compatible-devices/2024.05.17%20Full%20List%20of%20Compatible%20Devices.pdf, but this changes from time to time).
