No SSID just the radio transmitter.
Could you explain what you mean by that?
Typically, you turn off the WiFi and that's it. This modem you turn off the WiFi and the waveform continues. Yes it is no longer broadcasting the SSID, but I can see the waveform on the WiFi analyzer. My wife does not like radio transmitters near her, so...

I think that is the ZigBee connection for Cox Homelife and it can't be disabled. See here for more info on the ZigBee RF exposure. Won't it be right next to a Wi-Fi router making the health concerns moot? Either way if you are that concerned why not buy a stand alone modem? Won't have to rent the gateway as a bonus.
Just to be clear, you are not talking about the Hotspot right? That would show up as a normal SSID.
Correct. I just wanted to disable the Cox WiFi/ radio. I have three access points so the router is also WiFi-less. LOL I have a Netgear Nighthawk and seems a waste not to use the built in WiFi but it is not needed. I need a radio less modem and a wired router. I looked but it's cheaper to buy what Costco is carrying at the time.
