@EG​ I guess what I really need to ask is, since my ASUS RT N66R router is almost 10 years old. Should I buy a new router or use Xfinity`s modem/Wi-Fi-router and chunk mine? Seems to have a good signal. And it looks like its dual band 2.4/5.0 work as

Not receiving my code thru text. Never had this problem before. Had to use alternate email to receive it. Hit resend several times. Anybody else having this problem?

Now all the text with the codes are coming thru from sign in to every resend I did! 5 total, Ridiculous!
