Hide SSID option removed from RBR50 firmware 2.7.2.104
I need to temporarily hide the SSID of my 5Ghz network, but the option to do so appears to have been removed. I'm under Advanced > Setup > Wireless Setup. Wasn't it here previously? Did they move it ...

You want the Wireless Setup under "Advanced Setup" at the bottom of the menu.

I appreciate the fast response, but mine looks nothing like yours - hence my confusion, and that's why I posted here. So if I'm on the latest firmware (2.7.2.104) and I have none of those options - in fact it's IDENTICAL to the basic wireless settings - what do I do?

I also have the latest firmware. Can you attach that image?
It would be helpful to know which device requires this much effort to connect. I have a whole box full of devices which scream out MUST HAVE 2.4G WiFi and all connected to Orbi with my smartphone connected at 5G. In the last year, I think only two devices required the "stop broadcasting SSID" procedure.
