Hide SSID doesn't work on AP10

Hi,

I added a new wireless network for that I don't want the SSID to be promoted.
But the SSID is still visible with the other SSIDs of my AP10.

Is it not possible to hide only one SSID? Do I have to hide all?

Hi Walter,

Not sure what the problem is here, I run two wireless networks through an AP10 and can promote or hide any combination of SSID. The only thing I would say is once a change has been made to the config it does take a few seconds to work its way through the system.

It's more than a week now and I tried switching Hide SSID on and off several times and let the AP10 enough time to reboot.

What makes you think that the hidden ssid is broadcasted?

I see the SSID in different devices, which had not been running since I started the new network.
This weekend my kids came home and asked, what the new network is for.
So I think that is enough evidence, that the SSID is not only in the cache. It is still broadcasted to new devices.

Hmm, that's pretty strange. Thanks for the heads up. Let me have a look ...
