[Comcast Equip] Modem settings

I had to replace my DVR (because of noise issues) and there were some errors and issues that took a restart to solve.

But while I was looking into the above, I noticed two things on the modem Status page:
1) MoCA has a red X - not sure if it was like this before I swapped DVRs.

2) It's set for Low Security, also with red X. I know this is how it was set when it was installed.

Are the above the correct defaults?

Not sure why a modem question was moved to the TV forum, but OK...

You want the modem MoCA to be off, as having it on may interfere with X1 forming its mesh network.

OK good. I thought I remembered it was off before, but wasn't sure. Thanks.

What about the Security settings? Is Low the default? Is there anywhere the values are defined?

Yeah low is the default. The higher settings block things such as P2P.
