Can I disable client SSID on Satellite?
Hi all, can i disable the SSID or even the radio to the client (not to the backhaul radio) of the Satellite if possible?
i dont think so
are you wanting to use it as just a media bridge ?
Yes, actually. On bridge is needed for my case. Should I use Orbi? Or I should use other bridge router/equipment instead?
the orbi will still work as a bridge with its wifi enabled , not sure why you would want to disable its wifi
Due to the phyiscal limitation, I am not able to have wired connection inside a room. I have to bridge two hub connections into a single network. It will be good to using a powerful equipment to bridge two hub. With mesh design, it even reduce the configuration setting on the satellite side. However, as mentioned, it would be too much radio in a same room. Even though 5Ghz shall not have channel overlap issue, it still have a good practice shutting down a excess radio, which is one of the 5Ghz radio of the satellite device in my case.
