Disable Onemesh Hidden network on Onemesh Routers
2021-07-27 09:58:12 - last edited 2022-10-28 12:00:36
This Article Applies to: TP-Link Routers that supports Onemesh, such as Archer C6/A6/C7/A7/AX10/AX20/AX6000/AX11000, etc. Background: Some customers report their Onemesh routers are emitting a hidden network, which makes them confused and nervous as they cannot turn it off manually on the router web GUI. The hidden wireless network is used to build up the mesh wireless network system, and it cannot be detected by the common wireless devices. You can refer to this article for more details: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/stories/detail/728 Just like the existing Deco mesh package products, the specific hidden network with high-intensity random password can guarantee the security of the network. So no worries. Available Solutions: However, if you still want to disable the Onemesh hidden network on the router, update the router firmware to the latest, and you will get the option to switch it off. Note: Be aware that the Onemesh option is not available when the router is working in Access Point mode. If you need to disable the Onemesh hidden network also, please switch to Router mode, disable Onemesh, then switch back to Access Point mode. For Example, the models below have already added the Onemesh option on the latest official firmware, which can be downloaded manually from the TP-Link website, or updated via the router web GUI / Tether app: Archer A7_V5_201029 and newer versions Archer C7_V5_201030 and newer versions Archer A6(US)_V2_210226 and later versions Archer C6(US)_V2_210226 and later versions Archer C80(US)_V1_1.11.30 Build 220624 and later versions Archer C64(EU)_V1_1.11.30 Build 220624 and later versions Archer C6(EU)_V2_1.3.7 Build 20220613 and later versions Archer A6(EU)_V2_1.3.7 Build 20220613 and later versions For other models that support Onemesh, but you cannot find an Onemesh ON/OFF switch on its web GUI, please keep an eye on the official website or router web GUI for the new updates, then determine if the Onemesh ON/OFF is available. If still no, please wait patiently and there would be new official firmware in the near future. Related Articles: Disable Onemesh Hidden network on DSL modem Disable Hidden SSID on the 3G/4G modem

It's quite possible that the early EasyMesh FW allows the hidden networks in AP mode, even EasyMesh feature has been disabled in "Router mode".
Thanks for reporting this behavior.

@terziyski It could be.
@Macrox Have you disabled both EasyMesh and Onemesh in Router mode? Please try to disable them both, then switch to AP mode to confirm if there is still a hidden network.

@Macrox Can you please once again if the EasyMesh is disabled? If it is disabled, but the router still emits a hidden network, I assume the improvement that made to the Onemesh may not implement on the new EasyMesh.
Please let me know if you want to work with our support engineers to check it out.

Hi Kevin,
Will the mesh-on/off button appear in MR200 future (beta-)firmware too?
Emitting any wifi would get me in a lot of trouble. So my new device can't be used now.
I have the V6 :
1.1.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 230516 Rel.64685n
Maybe silly question: can I upload firmware V4? (where mesh is not implemented yet)
Thanks!
Peter

Hi, Tnx. It was a question because the hardware is almost the same. I left the question on this forum to several tplink-guys. Hope the mr200v6 get's on/off for mesh too, as they did for other devices. Strange this on/off is not standard implemented. There are a lot of environments where wifi isn't allowed. That's why I bought a 4g-device in the first place. From local support, still no answer yet. I keep hoping... my device rests until then. Peter

As per this thread, Archer MR600 V6 doesn't have a beta firmware to disable the Onemesh hidden network at the moment:
https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/267610
Sorry that we don't have any advanced notice of whether or when there will be new firmware for MR600 V6 to disable the Onemesh hidden network, but we will update the above thread once there are new models that support it. You may subscribe to that thread to get the most updated info.

Thx Kevin!
Already checked that out.
And V5.30 isn't an option? Did some investigation: looks like V5- and V6-hardwares are almost alike?
You are the expert :-) I wouldn't try it without your blessing.
Have now 2 devices. MR200 and some unbranded banggood-thing with the same problem.
I will wait. I'll try to put monthly-paid dataplan on hold.
Peter

It remains a mystery why, after mesh-on/off is implemented on V5.3, the button disappeared on V6 (on a later date).
It doesn't matter if its connectable or not, if you are in a no-wifi-zone (medical or other "fine" equipment), then "detectable" wifi is not allowed.
There's no warning in the manual that mesh keeps wifi on. Without knowing, one could do something what's not allowed or disturbs medical equipment.
I did mesure it, luckily. So, my new-bought device stays unused until firmware with on/off gets publiced.
I hope it'll be soon. :-)
