Damn, that's some gross coax, haha. get a Coax Explorer and a label maker to figure out which one goes where, label them, and then disconnect the ones not in use and tuck them away somewhere. Yeeeeesh.

Both Deco and gateway as routers will cause a double NAT which will cause connectivity issues with a lot of media establishment (calling, online gaming, etc.) where ephemeral ports must be opened.

If your Comcast gateway is providing connectivity for wireless Xfinity PVRs, you *cannot* put the gateway into bridge mode or it'll kill the wireless radio. You'd need to plug the Xfinity TV boxes into ethernet that connects to the gateway directly, or you just run it as the gateway and set the Deco to be configured as access points only.
