Orbi WiFi SSID now always on?
Hello and thank you for reading this. I have recently updated my Orbi RBR20 router to the latest firmware version (2.6.2.104). I noted that now the main WiFi network SSID can no longer be hidden...
And I also miss extended Wi-Fi settings, since this is all that's accessible right now, see screenshot. This is advanced tab, not basic. Soundn't there be anything more?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
If you unchecked Enable Guest Network and unchecked Enable SSID broadcast from the guest network menu, then no signal of the guest network will be broadcast or hidden.

No
You can post any message or question you like.
I was only asking if you felt the problem you're having was caused by your recent firmware update?

I thought about that. Going to do... Should I backup settings and restore them after factory reset or should I do full reconfiguration after factory reset?
I have unchecked Enable Guest Network and unchecked Enable SSID broadcast from the guest network menu, still there is a signal of the guest network after reboot for 5 to 10 minutes, then signal disappears.
I'd do a reset and clean setup from scratch. Then save off a new backup configuration to file.

Thank you for advice. Let's see what happens.
