Between 2am and 4am EST starting 6/20 I get an Xfinity code texted to me every morning. I have two factor authentication turned on. There are only two people on the account and the other person would have no reason to access my account not to mention they are sleeping at that time. So I am guessing it is someone trying to reset my password to gain access to my account. I'm not overly concerned about it because I feel secure with the 2FA but I still don't like someone trying every day to access my account. I called customer service and they weren't able to really help. The only thing they suggested was to change my secondary email address (Gmail). Would tech support be able to trace the source of the attempts? Could they even do anything about it? Or is something else happening? Any ideas?

I wouldn't.

I am asking this question for someone else so I don't have the brands of the equipment available. If needed I can supply them. When we were at the local service center swapping boxes for someone else, they offered a plan for $2 more that includes Home Security, which is a great deal. However, the person currently has a Vivint system. I don't know if the current equipment will work with Xfinity or if there are additional monthly charges for linking the equipment to the Xfinity system. Here is what they have. Security panel 3 door sensors CO2 sensor 2 smoke alarms Front door lock Panic button (on a keychain for an elderly person) I understand that Xfinity would swap out the control panel, add a touchscreen, some window sensors (don't know how many but there are 4 windows on the ground floor) and add cellular backup. We got a free camera when we switched over but I don't know if that is still being offered. What, if any of the current equipment would be able to be linked to the Xfinity system? And what would the additional monthly charges be? If the equipment can't be linked, what would be the cost for new equipment? The door lock isn't critical. Thanks. Gary

The XB3 is great. I can get a strong wifi signal sitting in my car in front of the house, and the gateway is on the second floor of the house. You probably won't need to even fool with the extender. One note of caution - these models are set up to provide an open wifi spot to everyone who passes your house or is in your house. There is an option in the settings to turn this off. You can call and they will ship you one, though the shipping is $20. You might also call your local Comcast store (they have been opening store locations as an alternative to the service centers) and see if they have any in stock.

I have a Sony Bravia HDTV model KDL-40EX400 and I need the remote code. Box is RNG150. Remote is silver with red OK/Select button. The codes given by the web app are 10000, 11100, and 11317. It will allow me to program in those three codes (I get the two blinks from the tv button), but after I do so and then attempt to turn the tv's power off, the cable button will instead flash twice and the tv does nothing. Help! I know this tv can be programmed, it worked before the batteries died.
