Mesh setup screwup!

I hooked up the X60 (3 of them) to my Xfinity gateway as an AP and i was getting much better speeds across the house (150-250 megs vs 5-7 with those stupid Xfi pods). Then i unplugged the pods and all was fine. I read more about how bridge mode is preferred to let the Deco router be the sole network so i reset my modem into bridge mode, moved cables around so the first node was the only one wired to the modem, and reset everything from scratch again. Horrible speed, then tried switching back to AP mode, even worse. Desktop speeds of .33 MBps which is stupid considering i placed a pod directly behind my computer on the window sill. Then wired ethernet from pod to desktop, not much better.
Last night did a full reset of everything again and it's now back in bridge mode with decent speed, 50 MB at the computer, but only if it's wired to the pod. Wireless still not working. Phone is getting maybe 85 in that room, up to 500 in the first room with the modem/first node.
I can't get those initial speeds back. Did it have to do with the Xfinity pods first? The wireless card on my desktop is good, it's AX and capable of far more speed than I pay for. I get 950 and it's rated for like 2 G i thinkg.
I screwed something up messing with settings to the "recommended setup". I've done a flush DNS, TCP reset, ip release/renew, etc all my usual wifi tricks.
What gives?
*I had planned to run a ethernet cable on the side of my house from the router room to my office to get hard wired speeds from my splitter, but wanted to try this mesh first. I don't really care that much about phone speed. Mainly computer.*
