How to hidden SSID on Nighthawk MK62
I bought Nighthawk MK62 but I'm not found where to hidden my SSID....
Please teach me.
Thanks and Best regards.
- Hi waihongso and WaiMan,
The problem deemed to be solved after I upgrade the firmware to the latest one (released on 3 Aug 2020). You can download them (for both router and satellite) through the link below:

Hi WaiMan,
Please log into the router by visiting the admin page. Then click on ADVANCED>Advanced Setup>Wireless Settings and uncheck the "Enable SSID Broadcast" box.

Hi WaiMan,
May you provide me with a screenshot for us to check along with the firmware version your router is currently on.

Hi Christian,
I unchecked the box and click "apply", but my SSID still appear in the wifi list. This function deemed to be not working. Would you advise another method to hide the SSID? Many thanks.
