Settings that can be changed on Xfinity gateway
I've been using my own Netgear modem/router, but I'm thinking of switching to one provided by Xfinity. How locked down are the router firmware settings? I want to be able to do things like:
- Turn off WPS
- Change channels and frequency
- Change SSID and password
- Configure custom firewall rules
- Change wireless encryption type
- Change router login
- Add a switch, hardware firewall, or AP
- Potentially set up port forwarding (although if not, this isn't a dealbreaker)
Can I do this on a router rented from Xfinity or do they lock these settings down?
