So my house currently uses an Xfinity gateway (using both modem and router features).  However, tons of slow/dead spots in the house so I plan on getting the Orbi AX4200 mesh system.  I understand that I need to set the gateway to bridge mode so that the gateway stops serving as a wifi router, handing over those duties to the Orbi.  The only service/equipment that I also have from Comcast is their security camera system.  However, the cameras are wired directly to a video device that is then directly wired to the gateway.   So since the cameras are not wifi based, is it safe to set the gateway to bridge mode?
