How to adjust metered/unmetered setting in Android Wifi settings with XFINITY hotspot Wifi App installed??

From what I understand, in order to use the secured XFINITY wifi hot spots, you need to have a profile installed on your device. On Android, it appears that installing the profile locks out the ability to set the wifi connect usage settings (auto/metered/unmetered). I want to change this because it appears to be the only way to address the issue where my phone connects to my neighbors XFINITY wifi when I get home and I have to manually change my phone over to my home network. It seems that if I set my home network to unmetered and XFINITY to metered then Android (12 at least) will automatically switch for me.

Hello @user_2bed71   It is correct that in order to use XFINITY Wi-Fi hotspots you need a username setup with Comcast. I have an iPhone myself and when I am out in public my cellphone will automatically connect to XFINITY Wi-Fi hotspots while I am in public. When I arrive home it automatically connects to my secure in home network.
