Disabling Hub Two hidden network

Hi, I've just installed a new hub two router. I need the option to turn wireless off completely but note when I turn off the 2.5 and Ghz networks in the settings there is still a hidden network pushing out a signal. How do I turn the wireless off completely?

 

Many thanks

Re: Disabling Hub Two hidden network

There should be a further option 'Disable all wireless' . This will disable everything including the hidden network

Re: Disabling Hub Two hidden network

Thanks. I don't have that option though in wireless advanced settings.

I wonder if it could be that my firmware is an old version. It's this - v0.06.00.12134-PN

 

Thanks again.

Re: Disabling Hub Two hidden network

There was a thread on this last year:  here   and a firmware update was expected to allow the hidden network to be switched off.

@bobpullen was the firmware update ever rolled out?

Re: Disabling Hub Two hidden network

How long has this Hub been online? Have you ever replaced it with another for any reason - it looks as though it has fallen off the management platform.

Re: Disabling Hub Two hidden network

It was sent to me a few months ago when the old router had an issue. But the old router starting working again so I didn't install the new one until I've started having issues with the old one again! Sorry if this has messed up the system!

@sampward - looks to me like a firmware update was pushed to you this morning. Try rebooting the hub.
