Can I disable client SSID on Satellite?

Hi all, can i disable the SSID or even the radio to the client (not to the backhaul radio) of the Satellite if possible?

Yes, actually. On bridge is needed for my case. Should I use Orbi? Or I should use other bridge router/equipment instead?

the orbi will still work as a bridge with its wifi enabled , not sure why you would want to disable its wifi

Due to the phyiscal limitation, I am not able to have wired connection inside a room. I have to bridge two hub connections into a single network. It will be good to using a powerful equipment to bridge two hub. With mesh design, it even reduce the configuration setting on the satellite side. However, as mentioned, it would be too much radio in a same room. Even though 5Ghz shall not have channel overlap issue, it still have a good practice shutting down a excess radio, which is one of the 5Ghz radio of the satellite device in my case.

then you have the wrong device , you need a client / wireless bridge / media bridge
