Hide SSID option removed from RBR50 firmware 2.7.2.104
I need to temporarily hide the SSID of my 5Ghz network, but the option to do so appears to have been removed. I'm under Advanced > Setup > Wireless Setup. Wasn't it here previously? Did they move it someplace else?
You want the Wireless Setup under "Advanced Setup" at the bottom of the menu.

That is indeed where it is. (see attached image)

I appreciate the fast response, but mine looks nothing like yours - hence my confusion, and that's why I posted here. So if I'm on the latest firmware (2.7.2.104) and I have none of those options - in fact it's IDENTICAL to the basic wireless settings - what do I do?

What browser are you using? Try a different browser?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
