Cannot disable private wifi connections

​Hello - I have two comcast routers, each providing both 2.4GHz and 5GHz private wifi networks.​

​ ​

​So I have a total of *four* private wifi network SSIDs available from my routers.​

​ ​

​I normally do not want private wifi enabled; I enable it on-demand for specific projects.​

​ ​

​When I disable either private wifi (2.4GHz or 5GHz) on the local router web admin page, the wifi interfaces show up as disabled.​

​ ​

​But...the SSID is still broadcast *and* - gulp! - I'm can actually connect to any of the private wifi networks.​

​ ​

​This morning, I just went into ​​https://business.comcast.com/myaccount/Secure/ManageServices/Internet/ManagePrivateWIFI/​​ and verified that the private wifi networks show up as "off".​

​ ​

​Too bad that my local device just happily connected to one of these "disabled" wifi networks.​

​ ​

​Ugh, what a disaster.​
