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...

Hello! Same here. Orbi RBR20 router, latest firmware version (2.6.2.104). Problems have apeared after upgrading to the provided latest firmware version.

 

Moreover I'm unable to fully disable Guest Wi-Fi. Somehow it is always enabled and hidden for about 5 to 10 minutes after rebooting. When I reboot the router, Guest Wi-Fi appears to be on, even if I disable it before rebooting. However Guest Wi-Fi disappears after 5 or more minutes. Screenshots attached.

 

Any support?
