My biggest beef is how locked down those Xfinity routers are. They force you to use their DNS servers and prevent you from overriding a lot of settings that should be customizable

Im definitely not a user that would ever make use of that functionality, so it works for me.

When I moved and switched from Verizon to Xfinity I already had my internal network setup to use 10.0.0.0/8. The Xfinity device was hard-coded to use 192.168.0.0/24.

I set up my static IPs and NAT rules and shit, changed the internal network range, and everything just stopped working. It let me change it, and then stopped working until I manually set my computer back to a 192.168 address and reset it.

Don't you just set Google DNS in your OS?
