Cannot hide SSID - WAC730

Hey everyone,

Apologies if this is the wrong location. Wasn't sure where would be a good location.

I have a WAC730 and I am doing some testing on the 5.0 GHz network. Next to "Broadcast Wireless Network Name (SSID)" I have selected "No". However, the SSID is still being broadcasted.

Any assistance anyone can provide for this problem would be great. I would just like to note though, I cannot do a factory reset, which I've seen is a potential fix for this.

Thanks!

Ended up restarting the router out of desperation and this fixed the problem.

Have ad-hoc enabled an SSID on both 2.4 and 5 GHz set to broadcast disabled - and the SSID does not show up on air. Firmware is 3.9.0.3 on a WC730.

  Thanks for the assistance! I am not seeing ad-hoc in your screenshot though.
  
  Apologies if I am misunderstanding.

    It was just an ad-hoc test, unrelated to the names choosen. 8-)
