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 ...

You want the Wireless Setup under "Advanced Setup" at the bottom of the menu.

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?

I've tried accesing this part of the router in Chrome, Edge, and Safari on my Mac. I've also tried Chrome on my PC. I've attached the screenshot here, hopefully it works this time.
I haven't factory reset the router in a while and don't particularly want to, but if that's a reccomendated solution to this issue or not seeing settings where they should be, I'll do it.

<hangs head in shame> 🤦🏻♂️
I would like to start a GoFundMe to send the "designers" of Netgear router UI to design school because it's a tragedy how confusing this make it, even for geeks like me.
