Radio is still on even if WIFI is turned off.

[techx15]

I use rogers ignite xb7 modem only as a gateway with a separate DLink acting as router for home network (wired - ethernet based). I have turned wifi off on the xb7 modem (both 2.5GHz and 5GHz). What I have noticed is that the radio is still up - checked with a RF meter.  The event log also shows that the radio0 link is up however the wifi is correctly off as set.

Is there any way to turn the radio off on the modem?

Thx

why do I have anywhere from 6 to 8 hidden SSID's on my Rogers ignite modem ?  I am wondering if this is the reason it heats up so much.

Thanks for the read,  I just found it odd that the hidden SSID's  have a better signal strength than my usable Wi Fi.  And also not sure if other hidden SSID's were interfering with my usable Wi Fi , because  my phone keeps losing Wi Fi connection while I am sitting right next to the Ignite Modem   ...
