Disable XB7 public WiFi hotspots
I have Xfinity fiber service with a Nokia fiber ONT connected by Ethernet to a white Xfinity XB7 gateway (CGM4331COM). My ASUS router handles my home network, but the XB7 is still broadcasting the public SSIDs “xfinitywifi” and “Xfinity Mobile.” I confirmed these are coming from my XB7 by unplugging power from only the XB7; both SSIDs disappeared, and they returned when I powered it back on. The Xfinity app does not give me the hotspot control, and the hotspot settings page says my device does not support public hotspots. I need an Xfinity representative to disable both public hotspot broadcasts while leaving bridge mode unchanged.

Not sure if this still works....

And AFAIK, the Xfinity Mobile hotspot can not be disabled.

Xfinity’s hotspot settings page says my device is not eligible for public hotspots, but I physically confirmed that my XB7 is broadcasting both “xfinitywifi” and “Xfinity Mobile” by powering off only the XB7 and watching both SSIDs disappear, then reappear when it powered back on.
