Internet router unable to hide SSID
4.5
The option to disable SSID broadcasting is not working.
Symptoms
- Network still visible after hiding
- Setting won't save
- Error message in UI
Possible Causes
- Firmware bug
- Guest network active
- WPS enabled
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Disable WPS
Some routers require WPS to be off before hiding the SSID.
2
Disable Guest Network
Ensure the guest SSID isn't the one being seen.
3
Reboot after Saving
Settings may require a full reboot to take effect.
When to See a Technician
Hiding an SSID provides very little security; it is better to use a strong WPA3 password.
