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:
What a BS answer! Let the customer decide if they want to hide it or not.. what concern is it to you if you believe it’s really secure or not. Security by obscurity still works as first line of defense!
Regardless of broadcasting or hidding SSID wifi, wifi can still be detected and found even when Hidden. So that kinda blows security 101 out of the watter in it self. Some scanners are able to detect anything. Reason why there called that. Orbi has never given more than 2 DNS confiigurations. I know of other router mfr what have never given more than two. Especially for home users. Orbi and Router models or mostly home class products. Never have needed more than two. You might find 3 DNS options for business class products which may need that configuration and designed for the business class environment.
So if orbi isn't to your liking then please go find something that is.

Good advice, but better advice is to purchase with a generous return policy. The original Orbi product has allowed disabling SSID since 2016 ( and still does in v2.7.3.22). One might infer that newer Orbi models wold inherit the same code base. I was totally surprised that Netgear dropped telnet access in this new version. I am not looking forward to the search for my next WiFi system. Thankfully, it will be at least 2-3 years before I own any device that suports WiFi 6 or 6E.
