[ale] OT: What the hell is XSS in Comcast land?

[Scott Castaline]

According to the email exchange with Arris, the generic version firmware
can be set to bridge mode from the router's ports once logged into the
admin account, but that the Xfinity version has that removed or just
disabled at Comcast's request. Also it was indicated that there may be a
way through the USB port, but it seems that was strictly for hooking up
a USB device like a printer or HDD or SSD. The Xfinity one seems dead so
Comcast must have it turned off.
