Comcast router Admin Tool access disabled.

I enabled it in the mostly useless Xfinity app but it still is denying me access via my home network.  The tools available to customers just keep getting worse and worse and everything gets funneled into that godawful AI assistant or to offshore support people that know nothing.  Is it any wonder why people keep leaving in droves?

... Admin Tool access disabled

Does https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/admin-tool-access help? Note that if your gateway is in bridge mode, you'll have to factory reset it to clear bridge mode before you'll be able to follow the instructions in that article. And yes, the downhill slide continues and seems to be picking up speed.

Thanks, but nope that doesn't help.  I'm not in bridge mode and I have used the Admin took fairly extensively in the past (I'm a former network engineer), but it's been a while.

So no one from Comcast is going to chime in here?  I got rudely told to start my own thread but that doesn't seem to have helped any.
