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'...
Same here. I got the RBR750 from Costco in August. Seems that the Orbi App & Orbilogin are so dumbed down.

Bought the Orbi RBR750 from Costco and cannot believe that I cannot disable my SSID Broadcast. Why in the world is this feature not enabled. This is the most I have ever spent for a WiFi Router, and the most basic security measure is not available. I have never broadcast my SSID, seriously thinking of returning the system. I hope that Netgear fixes this sooner than later. Very disappointed.
Please post about this here:
