Blink Cameras and Broadcast SSID

Question

I want to turn off the broadcasting of the SSID for the 2.4 ghz but, it seems to create a problem for my blink cameras not being able to access the network. Anyone else having this issue?

If its only blink having the issue, I'd check with blink support&nbsp;

Did you just disable broadcast of the SSID network name? Or was it the wireless radios?

Turning off the wifi for something that needs wifi could cause problems.

Turned off the broadcast of the SSID because I thought that if I turned it off that it would not get hacked

Been there done that.&nbsp; They do not get involved with breaches of wireless network. They point to internet provider which is Spectrum.&nbsp; I say it is the Wireless network which is back to Netgear.&nbsp; You know that in the Interface for Netgear it has the option SECURITY that when you first get the router that maybe you can get additional security.&nbsp; If you do not get it right away they stop offereing it to you.

There are sniffers that determined crooks can use to find your wifi.

Decent passwords are better protection.
