Using Wifi Analyzer on my Android phone, I can clearly see an enabled WiFi signal on the last-used channel of the WiFi from the Arris gateway, despite having it in Bridge Mode and disabling the WiFi on it. My xfinitywifi is disabled on my Comcast login, so I don't see that at all, but there is still basically radio noise because the Wifi on the Arris won't shut off. Software says 7.6.86L on the Arris info page.
Gateway > Hardware > Wi-Fi says "Wi-Fi link status: Active" but Gateway > Connection > Status says "Wireless Network(Wi-Fi 2.4 GHZ): Inactive" and clicking the Edit button there takes you to a page where Disabled is highlighted in red. On that page clicking Save Settings after clicking Disabled will get you the error "SSID can't be blank" but it appears to still accept your request to Save.
