Some basic features seemingly missing from the web interface and the app (Hidden SSID option, anyone?)
Hiding the SSID was a feature of many early WiFi systems. There was a concept that this somehow provided some sort of security. The very first Orbi router (RBR50) had this option (and still does to this day). When Netgear introduced WiFi6 versions of the Orbi mesh (802.11ax), that feature disappeared and has never been brought back. Likewise for the WiFi7 systems.
