Hello,
I have the Nighthawk R7960P and a TP-Link TC7650 modem. I do not have any Xfinity Equipment which is why they couldn’t help me when I called them.

The TP-Link looks like a modem only box.
There is no indication that I can see that the xfinitywifi is from something on your network.
You don't say where that picture comes from. A mobile phone? A PC?
From the Preferred Networks heading it looks like a wifi network that your devices could connect to. Not networks that you are transmitting.
If that is something you see on a mobile phone, then it may be a service that xfinity provides for customers to use when they are out and about. Or maybe something that you can pay for when travelling.
- The image is available networks coming from my PC. It shows up on my mobile phone as well.
It is a “service” that Xfinity provides to allow anyone with Xfinity to use anyone’s router without having to know that routers information.
When I called Xfinity they said they couldn’t “disable” their own service because I do not pay for one of their devices.
So, I’m here trying to figure out how to do it.
