One my HubPro and extenders using WiFi7 there are some hidden SSIDs used for managing the WiFi network. However if I turn on the 6GHz band in Guest WiFi, these hidden SSIDs are no longer hidden and available for connection although non of my passwords work. The new showing SSIDs are in the format of BH-(MAC address) eg. BH-2441FE4E****. Is this meant to happen?

No, definitely not meant to happen. Do they persist if you reboot the hub?

Rebooting the hub and extenders makes no difference, only turning off the 6Ghz in the Guest WiFi stops this.
I have also had major issues trying to get 80 WiFi devices onto my new network as they kept going offline or online with no internet connection and I eventually discovered that if the WiFi SSID name in either the main or the compatible networks has either a space or an underscore in it, the problems occur on both. So I changed the SSID and logon on every device to simple "Home" and it works fine. "Home_1" and "Home 1" cause problems.
