There is apparently some difference between the Xfinity designation and the "xFI" description and/or app but if you log onto your Comcast account and click enough choices you'll eventually bump into one titled "Connect" and that is where you can disable "Advanced Security"
Thank you for this answer makes sense. I have xfinity for my internet and only get the message if connected to Wi-Fi.
