Turn off SSID broadcast - CBR750/RBS750
How do I turn off SSID broadcast on the CBR750/RBS750? There does not seem to be an entry on any of the (Basic or Advanced) wireless menus.

Can you share the reason for wanting to turn off SSID broadcast?

I like to have a 'hidden' network for security.

Looks like Orbi may not be what you need. Although, if a serious hacker wanted to bother you, it appears that not broadcasting SSID is a trivial problem:

Ya, Hidden networks are still easily found. Any wifi scanner can see them. Been like that for years.
Something thats not supported on Orbi AX systems.
