Xfinity wifi hotspot not turning off
I recently discovered that the xifinitywifi SSID is now being broadcast from my modem again. This was turned off months ago and now has been enabled again. I confirmed that it wasn't another house in my area by unplugging my modem and watching the hotspot disappear.
I have tried the APP, the Browser and the URL https://customer.xfinity.com/#/settings/security/hotspot
The app and the browser say "lets try that again" and I can never get to the hotspot section. The URL says that they couldn't access the data and to try again later. How in the world am I supposed to turn this off if every option to do so results in failure?

I'm going to escalate your issue to the Comcast corporate employees that are available to these boards. You should get a reply here in your topic. Good luck !

Hello and Happy Tuesday, Scrigface! I hope you’re having a great start to the week! I also appreciate you taking a moment out of your day to reach out to us on our Community Forums! You’ve reached the best place and perfect person to help with virtually all of your account needs!
Going forward, I'm truly sorry to hear about the Xfinity Hotspot network still appearing on your home modem as I know network situations like this can be frustrating to say the least! I'd now like to take a closer look on the backend and see what tools we have to help disable this feature.

Thank you, @Scrigface for working with us on this issue, and for your patience! I'm so happy we were able to get this resolved, and turn off the broadcasting of the Xfinity WiFi hotspot from your Gateway due to a possible communication issue. Please reach back out if you need anything else!

So, what's the resolution? It's obvious that many are having the same problem. In my case, my Account Settings show that the public hotspot is disabled, but it's still here and the admin interface on the router itself confirms it.
