Nighthawk RAX45 Starts Broadcasting SSID when I use the Nighthawk mobile app

Question

I have setup my Nighthawk router to not broadcast my SSID. If I use the Nighthawk mobile app either on my iPhone or android tablet, it reset the SSID on my 5GHz network to broadcast the SSID. Any suggestions as to why it's happening and what I can do to resolve this issue?

Thanks

Great idea, but what if you want to use remote management?

Is that still possible without the apps? Ever tighter security means that these things get harder.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
