How to hide SSIDs on AC50

2017-12-25 16:34:39

Model : AC50

Hardware Version : 1.0

Firmware Version : 1.0.1 Build 20170706 Rel.72258

ISP :

Hi All and have a peaceful Christmas,

I want some SSIDs to be hidden in my wireless network and not to be broadcasted in beacon frames, but I can't find the option on the configuration pages.
Is it implemented? If yes, where can I configure it? If not, is it on the roadmap?

(My AC50's FW version is 1.0.1 Build 20170706 Rel.72258 - the lastest I guess.)

Thanks in advance, Jeno

Hi Jeno,

Merry Xmas.

Please go to Radio-Radio Settings-Disable Broadcast ProbeResponse. With the function disabled, the client cannot find the AP by sending broadcastprobes.

Thanks very much Carat1,
You answered again my question.
I wasn't clear with this terminology.
Have a happy New Year!
Kind regards,
Jeno

Hi Carat1,

I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough.
I configured 3 SSIDs in my wireless network. When a user opens the wifi connection options in Windows all the 3 SSID-s are visible because the SSID-s are broadcasted. I want some SSID-s to be hidden and not broadcasted.

The option you described above didn't work unfortunately.

Thanks in advance, kind regards: Jeno

Hi Jeno,

Do you want s ome SSID-s to be hidden and not to broadcast, but clients can still connect to it by searching for this SSID?

See this post and others made to do it. http://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?102463-AC500-with-CAP1750-turn-off-SSID-Broadcasting
