After three tries and numerous people at XFinity telling me the correct modem was coming, I finally got my white XB7 modem this past weekend, and set it up in 10 minutes via the phone app. Now when I try to RDP through my Port Forward, I can't nor can I access the Advanced Security through the web page. I see more and more people having this issue, but no solutions. I've trie to chat with XFinity but depending on which way the wind is going you are either put on hold, or told they will call you within (insert any number of minutes here) and never do. What gives? This kind of stuff makes me go back to FiOS quicker.

On the XFinity webpage, click on XFi. It's under Gateway - Advanced Settings (scroll down to bottom of page) and Port Forwarding. I had the same issue.

I am having the greatest difficulty re-pairing our latest model X1 remote to our Vizio soundbar. We just got a new Samsung TV and the remote controls the volume on that just fine. Switch the audio output to optical and no dice., just displays "Optical". All of the messages posted up to 2019 suggest hitting a non-existent setup button on the remote and using a code which is not provided by XFinity.
I know this worked fine for us in the past--how to accomish this?? Thanks.

I've finally discovered where XFinity has buried the port forwarding.
Note: their documentation has not been updated. it says to go to
Visit xfinity.com/myxFi or open the xFi app and sign in with your Xfinity username and password.
Go to Network > Advanced Settings > Port Forwarding.
But it is really under gateway--scroll beneath all connected devices--Select "More".
I did this because my forwarding to 3389 to my home PC from the outside world has stopped working. I have a replacement router coming, but just to test I deleted the port forward and added one for 3390. I can ping the external IP of my router from the outside, but not connect to 3390, or 3389 as I've put it back to.
This is ridiculous. Port forwarding has to be one of the most basic networking tasks for any home network and XFinity has no idea how to repair. I am hoping my new router fixes things, but has anyone else had similar issues with their XFinity home network? I'm about ready to buy my own router and stop renting this POS.
