Hi, now we have a new firmware that adds the OneMesh on/off button on the Archer MR600(EU) V1 and Archer MR200(EU) V5 which could turn off the hidden SSID if OneMesh is not needed;

If you are interested in the firmware, please feel free to leave me a private message;

Thank you.

@axelssontom

Hello,

If the network is hidden, how did you find it?

Here is a way you can try to block it.

You can refer to this FAQ to set up access control on your router, then add the hidden devices into the blacklist:

Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day!

Could be OneMesh, which is broadcasting with a hidden SSID and can't be deactivated.

Could you please send me the link to this beta firmware as well (for MR600 v1 router) with the option to disable Mesh network.
