Add TP-Link X55 system, but TV is still connected to Comcast modem
I had a new wifi system installed. The previous sytem has a router and bridge mode which worked until the router died. I had installed the TP-Link X55 system. The installer thought he had enabled bridge mode. Here is what is now working. The TV is showing the Xfinity model with login. All other devices are show the new wifi system login.
Everything is working and speed plus coverage are great.
Is this a normal solution? Should I just leave everything as it is since all the devices are working.
Please advise.
Thanks.

@Anon1375032 I am glad that everything in the home is working as you need and the speed/coverage is great! To confirm, the system you set up is a mesh system, correct? Are you still using the Xfinity modem for the mesh system to connect to? Typically, you would not want your modem in bridge modem if you are utilizing a mesh system, and since the Xfinity modem has a built-in router, you would be able to use that built-in feature to connect to all devices.

Hi,
The TV (Xfinity internty) and the mesh for cell phones, and ipads are working well.
I just discovered, though, that the ipad casting doesn't work with the TV with this new arrangement. I can see the TV internet login and password, and I attempt to add this new setup with the ipad, but the response is that the device is not found. Prior to the mesh system I was able to cast German TV from the ipad to the TV. I would like to do this again if it is possible.
Casting is not critical for me, I wonder if there is still some way to get the ipad (connected to the mesh) to also work with the Xfinity tv internet connection.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
