I would get a non-Comcast modem plus a router. That's a sure solution.

There is no turning it off anymore, it's a hidden SSID that forever broadcasts. I'm fairly sure it's for techs to do diagnostics from the company phone. The modem is in the new 'mid split' area, there is a huge thread tracking it on dslreports.

    I've got a Comcast residential Modem that I can't get the RF

    in.  I haven't been able to find the right phrase at support to
    get them
    to do it.  So far All that's happened is they've removed the
    SSID's, but
    the RF is still broadcasting.  There are some 'RF cages' on Amazon to
    'limit your exposure to WIFI'  But they're marketed as making your
    house
    'healthier'  and reviews say they just slightly weaken the signal.

    Is there a way to properly ground out a cage around the modem to
    block
    all the WIFI?  Many moons ago, back in the days of 802.11b, I put
    an AP
    into a lead lined pelican case, and was still able to connect to the
    WIFI from outside of it.  I'm guessing I didn't do something right
    back
    then.

    FWIW though, I am getting 2.4gb/s x 230mb/s through the coax
    connection.  There's only a 2.5G interface on the modem.
