No Enable SSID broadcast option in RBR850 firmware
Firmware version V3.1.5.23_1.0.46 doesn't have 'Enable SSID broadcast' available on the Advanced -> Wireless Settings page.... of the Orbi RBR850. I want to disable broadcasting SSID name but I can'...
Well, let me say it pretty clearly that it seems silly that they'd implement this to accommocate for IoT support in prior versions but not include it in the AX version. Perhaps worse than silly. This is a sorely needed feature.
It is interesting that if you use the web gui and go to ADVANCED HOME you will see under MAIN NETWORK where it reports if the SSID is being broadcast under "Broadcast name"... but as is mentioned, there is no direct way to turn it off.
I suspect there is a command line capability to turn it off... perhaps on of our smart guys can see if it works.
