I've given up on getting the Xfinity router fully into bridge mode.  Each call to Comcast is an hour or two long, and it doesn't seem to fix anything.  I think it's because I had the XFi pods set up.

 

I have the Orbi set to AP mode now, with the Xfinity router running things.  I lose some functions I liked, but I'm getting the coverage I need clear out to my shop and game room.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions and support!
