After careful inspection of similar situations I discovered that Amazon has dropped thousands of movies off their Prime Movie List. Like you no longer can view Chaddy Shack the Bill Murray Movie included anymore. So I did further research trying to determine why Comcast as well as Amazon are cutting the content that was included in my original Contract I signed for 220 channels that spelled out I had MGM. Well I did more research and found that people that bought movies that were loaded into the cloud, their Movies could be missing? So, I did further research and discovered that Amazon has "secret" contracts paying for the movies offered to their Prime customers at about .40 cents to .60 Cents per hour that you viewed those "Free" choices.
Everytime an Amazon Prime watches a freebie that costs Amazon about $1. And their members pay over $10 month. So, I go back to Comcast and search for the movie Buckaroo Banzia that was available for Free on MGM. NOW, If I wish to see this or the other 1,200 movies offered BY MGM I have to pay. Therefore, Comcast Removed MGM to save a $1 and force me to pay $3.99 for the same exact content I previously offered as part of my Contract. I complained and they gave me Cimemax free for six months. After the six months I think I will cancel and Cut the Cord. Comcast saved a $1 and forced me to pay $3.99 for the same content just to make their shareholers and extra Dollar! I think that is very Unfair.
Dear Comcast could you return my MGM? You Cut off you Nose to spite your Face.

MGM offers 1200 movies of Movie content. Suddenly I go to watch Buckaroo Bonzai for free and I see a message that comcast has dropped MGM. And there is a link. I find the link and comcast says they pay for this content. BUT they just raised my bill and removed MGM and their 1,200 movies.
I search MGM and see that the Dish offers MGM.
Should I dump them or ask for a price reduction? What is the fair way to handle a needed movie content provider that Xfinity suddenly removed from my channel lineup?
My contract is over in a couple months. And I find that their own stated alternatives mentioned on the Comcast websites to their removal of MGM costs ME additional money. So they are insensitive and have stolen money out of my bill while telling me they pay for the content. Are they total frauds?

That sounds exactly like the Russian Hack on Routers. A three stage Attack.
I think you might be able to unplug your Router and try a reset but you will have to input all your setting back in manually.
Also, I read the FBI borrowed a Russian Hacked Router from a Pittsburgh resident and made significant research into this multi-level exploit. Maybe they will stop the Ruskies? I Read this Router attack comes from Moscow.

FWIW, Why did Opera News inform that Comcast Routers can be hacked and
I later discover that the original News Sources were 5 years Old?
The News mingled the new hack that Comcast Xfinity X-1 just shut down if someone picked your bill out of the trash to gain access to your account with Old News that one of their older model Routers could be easily hacked.
Set Me up why don't you?

"You're perfectly capable of changing the default password on your leased Comcast gateway. And if you want more control over your network, you're also more than welcome to bridge your gateway with a personal router, like I have. The downside is that your lose access to great features like Xfinity xFi, but I'm willing to live with it. Seriously, stop with the scaremongering across multiple threads."
Dear Dark Angel,
That is called a Faux Pas, since a bridge would require that I continue to spend $11 per month and I would still not be able to change my DNS. It would be superior for my Comcast Xfinity Xfi service if I could use my own Router than bridge their router to my own device. BUT, I read that Comcast Xfinity Xfi uses a common Arris Router but does not cooperate if you would like to own your own router.
In any event, I am extremely worried about my personal information and my security.
Maybe you should calm down?
So, unfortunately your advice does not help. But thanks it is the thought that counts.

Why are you acting so emotional?
I read that some people have methods to hack Comcast Xfinity Xfi Routers and you turned on me and attacked me.
I PAID Comcast money for a brand new account 5 months ago and forgot.
Why should I know anything? The two installers came in and placed these boxes in my house turned on my TV and connected my Laptop and asked me to give them a user name and password and LEFT.
I paid Comcast Xfinity for their service and NO ONE told me anything NOT ONE BOOK, NOT one link how to protect my identity.
BUT you are screaming Fear and foaming at the mouth and use an identity like a DARK ANGEL?
I am just a customer that is concerned about my identity.
WELL now that I read your response I am still concerned about my information.
Mr Dark Angel, If you can, give me a straight answer?
Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to change my Gateway Password and User Name?????

"FWIW, the 192.xxx IP is a private (non- internet routable) address."
Thanks for that info.
I tried using the Comcast Xfinity Xfi (NOT SECURE)
http://10.0.0.1 Router and inserted those presumed hack codes.
File not found.
AND then COMCAST Xfinity or someone shut down my ROUTER for an hour yesterday at 10 AM
HOW DO I VERIFY IT WAS COMCAST XFINITY that shut down their rented router and NOT A HACKER?
SO Far, I tried locking all the ways into this router out. NO plug and play and ZERO Config.
WELL, how do I change the Password into the Router Gateway?
ADMIN and PASSWORD ?

Now that I have Comcast for 5 months I am so glad you told me and Identified me as fear as a monger.
What do I do about all those paused devices I can not identify?
Comcast Xfinity Xfi came here at my expense and installed the equipment and left without one word about how to protect my identity. I paid them for their installation why did they fail to protect me from potential hackers?
NOW, it is my fault that the password is password and user is ADMIN
WHY did no one working at Comcast Xfinity or XFi tell me that their $11 month Routers are easy to hack until you called me NAMES?
Thanks, now I have to read how to change my router password.

I looked at the link you provided is very sketchy details of a Ziff Davis article.
I was reading some blogs and I do not know where ZD gained their info.
I am sorry I did not save the link but here is the info I cut and pasted off a Blog.
Maybe this info will help Comcast Xfinity or X-1 fix this Router Hack?
They said hacking is illegal and told you to use this info for educational purposes only:

Dynobin Blog SNIPPETS Xfinity Router Login Hack 06/28/2013 Francisco Lopez Vulnerabilities While searching around for a solution to the Arris(modem) password of the day I found out that these routers where being crawled by most common search engines. I found this out by doing the following google query:
1 inurl:"adv_pwd_cgi" The in quote string comes from the default Arris Login page which looks something like this
1 192.168.100.1/cgi-bin/adv_pwd_cgi From this page you can access the default Xfinity Login page by doing the following:
Click the BASIC tab Click the Xfinity tab //if present Upon clicking the Xfinity tab you will be redirected to the network’s external IP with an open port 8080. Now that you are on this page it will ask you for the Username and Password.
All Xfinity routers come with the exact same login info.
Username: admin Password: password From here you can manage the “stranger’s” whole network. Change all kind of settings:
Network configuration (LAN,Wireless,etc ...) Connected Devices Port Forwarding (TCP/UDP) ==> The scary part DMZ
___
I don’t know the reason as to why ports 80 and 8080 are opened to the public by default. I don’t think users are doing these port-forwards for two reasons, they didn’t even bother to change the default admin password AND they don’t show up on the router’s configuration.
I tested this on my IP and fortunately they weren’t opened because I had my web-server running on these ports so they never reached the Arris/Xfinity login page.
To protect yourself change the default admin password for your Xfinity router and/or open port 80/8080 on some other device.

What about your Router I rent for $11 month
everyone Comcast Xfinity X1 router made by arriss uses the same exact user namer: ADMIN
and Password: PASSWORD
and there is NO way to change this big giant hack into my Comcast account
Comcast is just blocking our ability to activate but not protecting my identity or my name, address and perhaps
Plug and Play and other router features that come on when one activates a new account set by Comcast Xfinity that could
be used by my neighbors that I do not know their name or address and they should not know my name address and maybe my private info.
WHY can I not change my Password or user name. I want to change my DNS too Comcast uses my DNS to run ADS and invade my privacy. I want to be able to program my DNS, Password and user name myself.
And if I try to buy my own ROUTER Comcast Xfinity X1 does not cooperate and give me a list or I read charges $90 to change your insecure $11 month Router.
AND YOUR wonder why people have negative views toward Comcast / Xfinity / X-1 .

Restart show command completely stopped working.
I am brand new to Comcast.
Had the 30 day period that I could cancel my contract.
Now after 30 days, My guide does not show any channels in the 1700 to 1800 range that are included and listed on my bill
as channels included.
GUIDE> Favorites or GUIDE> Free to ME Channels = nothing shows up above channel 1400.
I had a service man come in and see that it does not work and he said he never seen this problem before.
COMCAST charged me $40 for a useless service call.
That someone claimed I would see a credit.
TODAY, the RESTART feature has completely dissapeared, extinct like the dinosaur.
NO channels have the triangle circle on the guide.
What is wrong with this COMCAST Company?
