Hidden network
How can I turn off the hidden network as I am not using BT Whole Home WiFi?
Not only is the hub running hot and wasting electricity.
We can see the network and it asks for a password which we do not know.
Thanks in advance.

We do not have and never have had any discs plugged in. The hidden network is constantly broadcasting.

Its the backhaul connection for any BT Complete Wi-Fi disks, whether you have any or not.

Hi Keith,
I know what it is. As my post states, I want to switch it off because it's not in use, wasting electricity and generating unnecessary radiation.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, you can't.

I don`t think that is possible, maybe there is an option on the BT Smart Hub 2 to turn off Wi-Fi, but you will still have radiation from the DECT base unit inside the hub, and you cannot turn that off.
I suspect most of the heat is simply generated by the rest of the internal hardware.
