Disable modem wifi or residential gateway?

I chose to not use the wifi provided by the cable modem since my Asus router is far superior. I chose to disable the 2G and 5G wifi using the modem admin pages. I also tested by disabling the residential gateway but then lose access to the modem admin pages.
1. Shouldn't disabling the wifi on modem reach the same end result. I find the modem can get a bit warm to the touch so the less it has to do the better. I like having access to admin screens so that I can reboot modem from anywhere in the house.
2. Residential gateway off: With this option lose admin screens. Is there no way to log into modem when gateway is disabled?
