EE Smart Hub 6 Plus

How do I disable wifi broadcasting? A basic search said - "To hide the EE WiFi SSIDs, you need to log into your EE Hub Manager by typing 192.168.1.254 in your browser, then go to Advanced Settings and select Wireless. From there, you can disable the broadcasting of the SSIDs." But I can't find that option.

You can't hide SSIDs. All you can do is disable WiFi altogether by the 2.4 and/or 5 GHz bands individually on the Main and/or Compatible WiFi.

@shreyarg If it is the EE WiFi you have and would like to try and disable that one see the link below. If you require to Hide all the other ssid's then you will require to get a third party Router, the EE one does not have the Hide feature on it!

Solved: Opt Out EE Public WiFi - The EE Community

@JimM11 I am not trying to opt out of the EE public WiFi. I simply want to make my personal EE WiFi network invisible.

Anyway, based on both your and @XRaySpeX 's responses, I understand that we don't have that option in EE. I appreciate both of your help. 😊
