    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. 


        Thanks,

      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.
