Re: BT Smart Hub2 WiFi broadcasting without an SSID despite being turned off
Good thread. I am a EE customer with a EE FTTP router. I have the issue whereas the router is broadcasting unwanted hidden ssid's that are interfering with other systems I have at home.
Does anyone have an knowledge or opinions about the situation?
Would be ideal if these hidden ssid's were disabled.
TIA

That's awesome! I wish I found this earlier... Less interference and energy use now 🙂

Seems like the new EE smarthub plus router has this same issue too

Is there any way I can either turn off the hidden SSID, or change the channel for it, or the Wholehome system?

Re: BT Smart Hub2 WiFi broadcasting without an SSID despite being turned off
Interesting. I have limited experience with this but I too have an SH2 in place just for DV and the Wi-Fi turned off. My own observation is that the hidden disc backhaul used the same channel as the 2.4GHz, (which seems a bit strange), and was turned off when the rest was turned off. That was firmware v40, by the way. Does the MAC on this device match the MAC on the SH2? It might be coming from next door.

Re: BT Smart Hub2 WiFi broadcasting without an SSID despite being turned off
So I don't know whether this shows the Hidden SSID signals are coming from my SH2 or not?
My firmware was update in mid November and is v0.41.00.07076-BT

If you have an android phone, you should be able to tell with apps like WiFi Analyzer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrem.wifianalyzer - just check if the Mac addresses have a similar number sequence and the vendor of the hotspot

Problem is therefore over because it didn't actually exist!

Re: BT Smart Hub2 WiFi broadcasting without an SSID despite being turned off
At last I find something of an explanation re SH2 & hidden SSID. However, with BT-EE changeover (as contracts renew) so landline pushed across to DV therefore SH2 (due to BT proprietary DV?) is mandatory, so stuck with SH2. I deactivated WiFi (hidden SSID's disappear) & hooked on own WiFi AP router, but SH2 not playing ball? I'd happily embrace EE community forum, but it lacks detail (for the moment). So I resort back to this forum. So question is the EE black SH2 as per BT SH2 & how to configure to accept an AP router?
