Problems with Advanced Settings and WiFi
Hi§
Just bought yesterday the Orbi and I'm very pleased with it.
However I have a problem: when I'm in wifi settings in advanced, I can't make any change.
I'd like to hide SSID and activate MU-MIMO + beamforming but everytime I hit the apply button nothing happen ! ( no change on the screen, no change on the lights of the router ). When I change topics, nothing has changed ( the tick box are the same )
I have the latest firmware (1.4.0.16).I tried different computers, browser and it's always the same result.
Please help me because it's important that I hide my SSID ( someone already stole my wifi ).
Thanks.

hi hoding ssid is utterly useless as a security measure
suggest you have a read of
The six dumbest ways to secure a wireless LAN
http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-six-dumbest-ways-to-secure-a-wireless-lan/
if the person has the ability to hack wpa2 ( and the time ) hiding ssid isnt going to stop them + also makes some clients not connect
