Is it possible to set masking (hiding) of the SSID for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals on the home internet 5 G gateway?  This is more secure than just having your SSID blasted all over and hoping someone isn’t trying to get in your wi-fi system.

Which gateway do you have, the Nokia, or Arcadyan?

 

One is easy, the other much harder.

 


Arcadyan....doesn't seem to be much user control in the interface

You have the hard one.  The settings you seek are currently only available through a backdoor method.

 

The following video explains the method to reach these hidden settings:

Change “isBroadcastEnabled” from true to false, for each band.

Thanks....hopefully they make this easier in a future firmware update.   These have been standard wifi controls forever.
