It is likely that your use of proper Wi-Fi security protocols, like WPA2, is what is protecting your home wireless network, not that your SSID was hidden.  If want to test this theory, set your network to Open and see how long it takes to get used...

Security by obscurity is not security at all, and hiding your SSID offers vanishingly little protection from attackers.  MAC address filtering is another useless security measure.  Offering the Disabling SSID feature can lead too many uninformed customers to believe that they are secure, which they are not, so they then neglect to use WPA2, etc.  Better to point customers at proper security controls.

Orbi AX systems have never been able to disable any SSID broadcast since they first came out. Only the Orbi AC models were able to do that and not sure if they even support that any more.

After a few days on the phone with several tech-support agents, it was finally determined that this option was removed from the latest firmware. There is absolutely no way to disable SSID broadcast now. I am extremely disappointed as I bought the system to specifically to disable SSID broadcasting. Well some people believe it’s not a good thing, I have used this feature for years and according to my logs,  have not even had anyone tried entry to the network.

 

please bring it back.
