Stop NETGEAR54-5G From Broadcasting
How do I stop seeing NETGEAR54-5G from showing up in the wifi in my neighborhood? I renamed my wifi signal to something different but NETGEAR54-5G still shows up when I scan for wifi. How do I disable that from being seen?
Hello Mims978
if you have renamed your 5Ghz network then it should stop showing that default SSID. Do you happen to have that name saved on the devices thats looking at the wifi networks.

Hi Darren,
Yep you were right. It was just a matter of poking around in the settings. I'm good now. Thank you for the feedback.
