    Here you go.

     

    1) Connect to the web management interface (connect device to wifi network, use browser to go to admin page of hotspot e.g. 192.168.1.1

    2) Go to "Setup", "Wireless"

    3) Scroll to bottom.  Check or uncheck "Display info on LCD"

Are you referring to the Wireless SSID and password for your various hotspot wifi networks?  I'm pretty sure that there is a configuration setting (not sure if it is in the mobile app or only the web config interface) whereby you can choose to have these not be displayed on the LCD.

 

Though I cannot seem to find it in the manual right now.

I don't have the device in front of me, right now.
