XB8 automatically turns on WiFi 6 GHz frequency even when turned off in settings.

Can an official Xfinity rep explain how to turn off the 6 GHZ spectrum on an XB8 so that Xfinity doesn't automatically turn it back on.  Either that or explain how the security protocol can be changed because it is greyed out in settings unlike the other GHZ bands where security protocol can be changed.  6GHZ band can't be changed off WPA3, and when the overall band is turned off, Xfinity must have a routine or process that turns it back on.  This is causing problems with PODS and making handoffs not work with some devices.  It's a real problem.

Thank you for that information @kf08844 Have you noticed if the setting turns back on when there is an update on the modem?
