Disabling public wifi hotspots on XB7

Situation: I'm using this in bridge mode. I am able to stop broadcasting what would be "my" wifi networks (both guest and private on all available bands) but there is no current way in the admin panel to disable ALL wireless signals coming from the device. Meaning, the XB7 continues to broadcast "Public" networks.

I don't consent.

Tell me how to disable it or tell me I agreed to this in the 10,000 word ToS.

Reading material for people who don't think I [Edited: "Language"]:

  • "Sir, it takes time to turn off" - It's been in bridge mode with NO broadcast that I've consented to for about 10 weeks now.
  • "Sir, that is probably from your neighbor" - Funny how I can magically make these public networks vanish by unplugging the XB7.
  • "Sir, it does not affect your speeds" - I pay for a GIG, I get maybe 300mbps on a good day. Upload is like 5mbps. Let's not even discuss the the ethics of footing the bill for Xfinity's power consumption.
    • "That is YOUR networks fault!" - Literally bridge mode to a properly configured enterprise UniFi system which runs the tests.
    • "Hmm, sir maybe your line is bad. Schedule a tech" - Done. Had a fresh line laid. Tech couldn't break 200mbps either. Said it'd improve, left. It did not.
  • "Have you tried this irrelevant post? I am trying to increase my numbers on this forum" - Why are you even here, bro?

Truth be told, this is a final attempt at a resolution before tapping into the widespread customer angst and making a video where I make a faraday cage around the XB7.
