What is the quickest way to request that Verizon turn off the Fios Hidden Network WIFI Signal? The WIFI signal utilized in my household has already been disabled through the router settings. I am attempting to completely turn off all WIFI signals from my Fios router.

If you're using your own router and don't have FiOS TV service, you can take the Verizon router out of the equation if you want. Just unplug it and hook your router up to the ONT directly.
The hidden SSID from the Verizon router is used for the Wireless set top boxes for FiOS TV. If you've already disabled the Wi-Fi network on the router and the signal remains, it may not be possible to shut that off (there's no setting I'm aware of). The hidden SSID doesn't do much without the wireless set top boxes, so in terms of airtime it should have minimal impact. Of course, ensure the signal you're seeing is not coming from a neighbor with FiOS.
