Need advice on how to deal with new xfi gateway from comcast

[calvin tran]

Hello,
I have a netgear CM600 as the gateway to my router RT-AX86S. I just upgraded to unlimited data plan with Comcast and I have to use their provided wifi router.
So now my AX86S is behind another router and both of them have firewall enabled. I am not ready to make big changes like turning my AX86S into a AP since I am afraid to disrupt all the devices at home and I prefer to use the settings of Asus. I set the firewall for the comcast router at minimum so my AX86S is doing the main protection. I am wondering if I can increase the security level on my comcast router and disable the firewall on my Asus AX86S.
Thx, Calvin.

No, they offer $30 unlimited with their cpe or $50 without and using your own. Otherwise if you exceed the cap its $10/50gb or something along those lines.
