Notice the settings all greyed out? The web link (xfinity.com/myxfi) they tell you to go to is just a page telling you the same “webpage is no longer available, please download our app” bs.
(I don’t normally use chrome btw, just used chrome to make sure there isn’t any weird browser compatibility issue.)
Traffic within your network. So if you have digitized your (G-rated legitimately purchased) media collection, and stream that from a PC to your phone on your home network, they could potentially track that, if they control your router.
As your ISP, they wouldn’t be able to see any of that traffic otherwise.
Every device connected to the network, their Mac addresses, any unencrypted traffic. There are lots of local IoT devices that assume they’re safe behind your router. They could get info on everything you watch on TV if you have a Roku (and probably other ones too), see when you open your fridge, your thermostat

Holy shit, what gateway is that? My neighbors was fine, that is intense…:
CGM4140COM
Looks like this (Actually, the exact same model number. I checked in the settings at: https://10.0.0.1/hardware.jst):

You should get your own router and access point, and put the gateway in bridge mode. Right now Comcast has direct access to your entire network
I mean, what can they see with the router that they already cant see as an ISP?
