How to hide my SSID?
I know you can hide the Guest SSID, but what about the main wifi SSID? I can't find it
also the guest ssid when you de-select, it hangs also...another glitchy netgear software

Click Advanced-Advanced Setup-Wireless settings there you can un check broadcast the SSID of each band.

I do not see the option to hide main SSID in Advanced Wireless Settings. Only have option to hide Guest's
Unless you have old firmware or something, it's there. Read Darren's instructions carefully and look again.
