Turn Off the SSID Broadcast to Create a Hidden Network
By default, the extender broadcasts its WiFi signal so that its wireless network names
(SSIDs) are easy for you to find and connect to from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
You can turn off the SSID broadcast to create a hidden WiFi network. To connect to a hidden
network you must know its SSID and password and manually enter them.
