Is that (literally) https://oauth.xfinity.com? I just tried https://auth.xfinity.com and https://oauth.xfinity.com with Firefox with my Orbi and failed to reach either site.
It resolves to the oauth.xfinity.com eventually. The steps I am seeing is that I go to Xfinity.com, then tap on the "Sign in" or "My Account" link. It will try and go to oauth.xfinity.com and then fail. Do the same thing on your phone on LTE and it will work fine and you will be able to sign in just fine (you will eventually get past the oauth.xfinity.com and get to login.xfinity.com).
Another thing to try, if you download the Xfinity stream app. Tap on the "Get Started" button. That page that pops up will also error out. Do the same thing on LTE and it works fine.
Oh, heck. I'm not an Xfinity customer, so I do not get that far. Bummer.
Just for fun, can you check whether your system now has Parental Controls and/or Armor activated?
I believe they came with the most recent update.
I deliberately chose not to activate either.
(Not saying this has anything to do with this situation, but would like to know.)
Parental Controls are enabled (I am the parent). I tried to disable all of the parental controls and disabled and removed Circle, etc and then rebooted the router but that didn't help. I did, originally, have the Armor Security thing activated (just while it was on trial - to test it out). But, I didn't subscribe to it. I stopped using that. Although, I do think right after that trial ended was close to when my problems with Xfinity login started happening. Just not sure what can be done about it (I am trying to avoid a factory reset). Thanks!
You Disabled Parental Controls, (clicked "Apply"), did a reboot and:
- Parental Controls came back, or
- Still could not log in to Xfinity?
