Disable xfinitywify hotspot on my modem/router

Hi, I have the same problem as many others: I disabled the xfinitywify hotspot via the internet (https://customer.xfinity.com/#/settings/security/hotspot) and it is showing as Disabled there.

However, my router/modem (in bridge mode) is still broadcasting the SSID, even after waiting more than 24 hours, and restarting the device.

Please help, I'd hate having to put the whole box behind a wire mesh to stop the wifi in my house.

Thanks
