== Synopsis ==
Since the dumming down of the Xfinity Gateway, where it is no long possible to configure advanced settings with the web-interface on the router lan IP address. Now parts can be done in the web-interface like setting static IP addresses. While other parts like Port Forwarding must be done with the Xfinity app.</p>
The problem is that in the Xfinity app port forwards can only be done to devices that are in the DHCP table. To resolve this, devices with a Static IP address have to be put in DHCP table with a reserved IP address.
