Including a personalized homepage with all of the necessary activity insights, parents get useful tools like Device Pausing, Time Limits, and other advanced parental controls. You can save a lot of money getting a new 1-year deal every year!!! You are a sucker paying full price.Comcast, one of the largest cable and internet providers in the country, offers an excellent suite of parental controls through their new xFi Wi-Fi platform. I still have my Cable Modem and will use it in a couple of years unless they make me a new deal to keep on using theirs. 800 was already far faster than I needed. What I really cared about is the little faster Upload speed. I also get a little faster internet at 900/20. So I'm using their Modem/Router in Bridge mode and saving $240 a year doing it. So this is their latest thing they have pulled on me. They don't get that when you use your own modem. They want all these Xfinity Wifi hotspots out there. It's the things Comcast does to get you do use their TV service or use their modem. It was cheaper to get that bundle than Internet-only!!! ![]() I kept on using my Antenna since it's a better picture and I have a DVR for that. ![]() Didn't use the TV service or their TV Box. I've gotten basic TV service in a bundle to get cheaper Internet service. Otherwise after that 1 year the price you're paying shoots up to their normal price. It's worth it as you can save a lot of money. Every year I'm getting some type of dumb deal from Comcast to get my costs down cheaper. It was a bigger hassle than I thought it would be. There are still a few things left in that area. I have most of my Wifi stuff connected back. I changed my AP password and made it much longer. I had to change settings in the software running on my NAS to use its new 192 address instead of the 10 address. I moved everything to the default 192.168.1.0 for my Unifi Home Network. I had to do things in the right order for it to set up correctly. But I reset everything and started over on my Unifi hardware. ![]() I thought it was trying to Double NAT on me. I was having issues with my Unifi hardware. Which was a problem as that was what my Home Network was already using. But you are locked out from changing the local IP address that it is using of 10.0.0.1. I was able to easily enough put it into Bridge Mode. I haven't tested if it even reaches out into the street?!?! It's a new XB7-T. The point is they want their own Xfinity Wifi Hotspot. I can do the same deal a second time a year from now. Guess what I picked!!! That is a $20 a month saving, or $240 a year in savings. Or continue to pay $30 a month for Unlimited using my own cable modem. Use their Cable Modem paying $10 a month in rent, but get Unlimited Included. Well, I was asking about lowering the costs I was paying. I had 800/15 service using my own modem and paying the extra $30 a month for Unlimited. I had my own cable modem until a couple of weeks ago when Comcast called me about my Service as my 1-year deal was coming to an end. ![]()
