TPLINK AX1500 router - Beacons frames with SSID Parameter set to 000000

3 weeks ago - last edited 3 weeks ago

Model: Archer AX1500

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi Team,

While using WLAN scanner apps to scan my wifi environment, I am seeing a parallel "ghost" bssid, along with my actual SSID/BSSID that i use at my home.

This BSSID seems to be broadcasted by my very home AX1500 radios.

On running an OTA packet capture i could see Beacon frames being broadcasted parallely, with the SSID parameter set to "00000000000000000000000000".

Screenshot below.

What is this behaviour about ? Is it expected ?

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

Please do not worry about the network security. As the router supports Onemesh feature, so there is a hidden SSID used for Onemesh network. It is not open and exposed to outside, so please ignore it.
