@Comcast_Brie it doesn't have any effect on the wifi. I have both wifi radios (2.5ghz and 5ghz) turned off and the public wifi isn't on, no matter my "Prefer Private Connection" setting. If I turn the wifi radios on, the public xfinity hotspot is on, no matter the "Prefer Private Connection" setting.
And why would wifi settings be under the "connected devices" section?
