Thanks Paraniod,
I followed the steps you outlined. Here is the result.
Enabling bridge mode in my Comcast gateway only managed to hide the SSID's. The radios in the Comcast gateway continued to broadcast and interfer with my home WiFi system. I didn't note before, but I have the Extreme 150 product. With only one of the WiFi systems broadcasting I would get my full 150mbps download speed. With both WiFi systems broadcast I only got 10mbps downloads.
To resolve I purchased a Motorola MB7420 for $70 and have had it setup now for several days. I now have a very solid 150mbps download over my home WiFi again.
Setup was as easy as the Comcast gateway self-install and although this is a DOCSIS 3.0 16 X 4 cable modem it is definately more stable than the Comcast gateway it replaced (the newest DOCSIS 3.1 gateways they are shipping). It's also $100 cheaper than the Motorola DOCSIS 3.1 modems you can purchase. Knowing that I won't need more speed than the Extreme 150 product offers for some time this was the perfect investment.
Kudos to you, Sir!
