Up to you to keep or return the system.
The BE series is still under some development with new WiFi 7 tech thats still being developed and hasn't really been finalized. So up to users what they want and need. We can only help troubleshoot and help users out were problems arise. The shown SSID doesn't effect anything and doesn't bother operation of the system. Just a visual that I would agree should be hidden. I'm sure at some point, it maybe. it's only a minor inconvenience. NG doesn't give information on when changes will be put in place. Just comes, if and when it does.
If you feel you can try another system, give the Orbi 850 or 960 series a try. Those have hidden BH SSID and work well. My 960 is online currently and working great.

thank you very much for your answer, those model were released in 2020 is there is a chance they are still updated ? because they are expensive too... and i don't want something that wont be updated đ or maybe it's not the same thing like phone when you need the last update and it can be "bad" if you have an old model that doesnt have support anymore. (very sorry for my english aha).
what do you suggest me to do im very lost... there is a lot of different model like the 860 why it was realsed in 2023 ? its like the same that 850 ? my parents have the 750 never had issues but it was out in 2020 so 4 year...
thank you
