Hiding SSID

srapublic — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 16:49:06 GMT

Hi. I have the BT hub that has the large circular light with the logo in the middle (not sure of that's important). I want to turn off SSID and not transmit the network name. I cannot see anywhere on hub manager where I can do that. I've looked under 'Wireless' and I've looked under 'advanced settings' but I just don't see how to turn that off. Can you please point me how to do that please ?

Thanks.

It's an urban myth, mate. The SSID can still be obtained easily with the right tools, so you don't gain anything security-wise and potentially it can introduce a load of other problems. What is useful is changing the default SSID so the type of equipment you're using is not quite so obvious.

Exactly that
