Also, fuck xfinity and their BS. Can't even change wifi password without downloading an app.

Forgive my ignorance but how does it solve the issue mentioned? Do I need to flash my modem/router with certain software to block the pop ups to download the app?

I was referencing the text where OP mentioned they couldn't change their WiFi password without the Xfinity app

That's weird. What kind of router doesn't have either web interface or ssh/telnet for configuration....^?^

Xfinity and Spectrum provided ones

The xfinity gateway (modem + router in one device)

10.0.0.1 is the web access to the controls and this is what it shows:

They link to a webpage to change those settings, which requires logging to xfinity account, but now this webpage just tells you you have to download the app.

Why would you continue to get pop ups?

I meant the pop ups on every website to download the app when on my phone
