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?

Well I called on Monday and my request was escalated and no one returned my call or investigated further. I just called today and spoke with a very helpful agent who ran through trouble shooting with me but ultimately no one can tell me what the 10.146.200.107 IP address is. It is a private IP address and that is what is causing my double nat. Basically I've given up because I can't get a satisfactory answer from Xfinity.

@user_og7jk7 Thanks for posting the results. The unknown IP can be isolated by resetting the modem to factory settings, and then adding your devices one by one, and checking the IP's listed on your network each time. That will verify what device that IP comes from.

FWIW. It's not LAN IP's that are being discussed here. It's WAN / public IP's.
