WiFi on Cisco DPC3941B

I have a Cisco DPC3941B. I have both the 5ghz and 2.4ghz Wi-fi networks disabled under the Connection | Wi-Fi menu, however recently I noticed that the 5ghz light on the modem is blinking as if it was enabled. I have tried to re-enable and disable the 5ghz wifi, but the light continues to blink.

I do *NOT* want WiFi enabled on DPC3941B and the fact that that the 5ghz light is on indicates to me that there is a radio listening. How do I have all Wi-Fi capabilities disabled on this device and stop this light from blinking?

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us regarding your business wifi connection. It is very simple for your to manage your private wifi access on the modem through your Comcast Business my account page.

Sign in to My Account and select Internet from the Services menu. Only the Primary Manager or Services Manager can update this information.

Select Manage Private WiFi on the right side of the page.Manage your 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz connection by selecting the pencil icon in the appropriate section. From here you can:

- Select the On/Off toggle to enable or disable the network. Enabling access allows users with the Network Name/SSID to access the network. Disabling access ensures no one can access that network, even if they have the Network Name/SSID.
- Edit the Network Name/SSID and enable or disable broadcasting of the Network Name/SSID.
- Change the Security Mode and Password. Note that the password requirements will change depending on which security mode you choose.
Select I'm Done when you are finished.

Please let me know if you require any further assistance.

Just wanted to close the loop on this - @Comcast_Daryl was able to shut the wifi off on my modem.

My user settings show me as the "Primary Manager" on the account, however when I sign in to my account I do *not* have a "Manage Private WiFi" under internet services.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out with the screenshots. You should have a manage private wifi option over on the right-hand side of the screen. This link will provide you with the same steps I supplied above but with screenshots to help you navigate https://comca.st/3rnsjJk. Please let me know if you still continue to have an issue after trying these steps.

Thanks so much for giving it a try. Let's look a little deeper into your account. Can you please select the chat option and select message Comcast business to send me a private message with your first and last name, business service address, and business account number or phone number?

I appreciate you giving that a shot. What you want to select is Comcast Business in the peer to peer chat options to message me this option has changed and you no longer need to use our direct handles to reach out to us to make this more seamless for you as a customer you just select Comcast business and you will get right back to us through private message chat session.
