xfinity support

I have checked several posts about how to disable the xfinity hotspot on my modem/router. The wifi hotspot is causing a double nat situation with my VOIP phone and I can't receive calls. 10.146.200.107 is still broadcasting. I put the xfinity modem in bridge mode and disabled sip alg on my tplink router but xfinity is still broadcasting 10.146.200.107. After doing some research it looks like this is caused by the wifi hotspot. I tried to disable the hotspot on both the xfinity app and via this the link provided in this post https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/disable-xfinity-wifi-home-hotspot but nothing works. Is there a setting that I can change on the modem to stop the wifi from broadcasting?

@user_og7jk7, Thank you for reaching out to Xfinity Support. Give this a try and let us know if you are still having trouble: 

To disable the Xfinity WiFi Home Hotspot on your modem, you can follow these steps:

  1. Using the Xfinity app:
    - Go to the Xfinity app and sign in.
    - Navigate to WiFi > View WiFi equipment > Advanced Settings > Xfinity WiFi hotspot network.
    - Slide the toggle to the left to disable your home hotspot.
  2. Through your account:

- Visit customer.xfinity.com/#/settings/security/hotspot.

Angie,

What you are suggesting is what I tried before. The link that you provided was not working on Friday but it is today and I checked and it shows the hotspot as being disabled. However, I was able to disable the hotspot using my xfinity app but I still have a problem. (It's been over 24 hours) I still can't receive calls on my VOIP phone. I ran another tracert on google and it is now showing   2    15 ms    10 ms    11 ms  172.20.21.254
  3    14 ms    12 ms    12 ms  172.20.22.3

Both IP addresses are private  still indicating a double NAT based on what I've read.

Just sent  a message. I actually had sent one 2 days ago but no response. I redid the tracert as I realized I was running it with my VPN on but when I reran the tracert without the VPN the results were still the same with the same double nat IP addresses.
