@andrewfraley The login is admin and the password is the last 8 digits of the modem's serial number. I was able to make some really ugly changes to the script to make it work, but it doesn't seem to work reliably. It works for a few minutes and then goes back to not accepting the credential cookie required to auth to it. I'll submit a PR once I'm more confident with my changes, but I thought I would give you a heads up.

@jgarland79 thanks for the info. I also have Comcast and my modem was recently updated. I was able to get authentication to work, but the modem seems to reject all authentication after a period of time or number of requests, as in I can't authenticate using my real browser even. I'll investigate further as time allows.

@jgarland79 I think I have this working reliably. You can try the "auth" branch if you want to test it. Note the updated config.ini file.
