Problems with Advanced Settings and WiFi

Hi§

Just bought yesterday the Orbi and I'm very pleased with it.

However I have a problem: when I'm in wifi settings in advanced, I can't make any change.

I'd like to hide SSID and activate MU-MIMO + beamforming but everytime I hit the apply button nothing happen ! ( no change on the screen, no change on the lights of the router ). When I change topics, nothing has changed ( the tick box are the same )

I have the latest firmware (1.4.0.16).I tried different computers, browser and it's always the same result.

Please help me because it's important that I hide my SSID ( someone already stole my wifi ).

Thanks.

hi hoding ssid is utterly useless as a security measure

 

suggest you have a read of

 

The six dumbest ways to secure a wireless LAN

http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-six-dumbest-ways-to-secure-a-wireless-lan/

 

if the person has the ability to hack wpa2 ( and the time ) hiding ssid isnt going to stop them + also makes some clients not connect
