After upgrading to XB8, I want to go back to XB7
Xfinity initiated an upgrade of my gateway from XB7 to XB8. Now that it's set up, I see a perpetual LED white status light. This is not something I want in my living space 24x7. Is there any way to disable the white, systems-up and running - light? Or do I go back to XB7?

My XB7 has the same light to show network status. It's literally how these modems work. Just do what I do with my PC's annoying blinking power button LED and throw a shirt over it.

Modems need ventilation. Covering them can cause overheating, which can lead to performance problems and a possible fire hazard.... Try covering the LED with a small piece of black electrical tape.
