1. If I set up the Decos as access points, will the xfinity box act nice and hand off to the rest of the mesh units? I assume I would factory reset all the decos and start from scratch as access points? If they don't play well together I will bridge the xfinity gateway.
2. I have a cheap network cable tester. 8 plus G, which I assume is ground. On any cabling where all 9 flash (including ground) I have no connectivity to network (deco will not connect via ethernet cable). I have approximately 2 times speed from wired connections to mesh units but most of the cabling is no good, apparently. I always assumed grounded was better than not but none of those grounded connections place nice with my mesh unit.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Oh, I see. I didn't think of PVRs.
I don't know exactly how as I've never used mesh units solely as AP without headache, but I think some form of ethernet hardwiring of the APs would be required. That's the trick with networking sometimes. In theory it could work but it doesn't. In theory it doesn't work but somehow it does. You won't know till you try.
EDIT: TD explained it better.
