Hello

I haven't been able to find an answer on the forum to this question.

My OBI212 is broadcasting it's SSID. That doesn't seem right. Is there a way to turn that off?

Thanks in advance!

An OBi212 does not broadcast it's SSID.  I assume you the USB WiFi device that you have plugged in to your OBi212.

Why do you want to hide the SSID? Doing so gains you no increase in the security of your network.

You are absolutely right. Thank you very much for clearing up that mystery!

My main reason for wanting to turn it off/hide it was because I was worried that it might make my network less secure. I have removed it (because I didn't need it anyway) so all is well now.

Thanks again for your help!
