When using OneMesh feature is normal to have hidden networks identified as TP-Link's. These are used for building the OneMesh.

If you don't use the OneMesh feature of AX73, you can just disable it and these hidden networks should disappear - check this thread.

@terziyski 

Thanks for reply.

I understood that Mesh Wi-Fi activates  Hidden Network in both bands for communication between the Main Router and extenders.

But I'm wondering why the hidden network is WPA2? 
For best security, it should be WPA3.
Even if user sets WPA3 only, Hidden Network is WPA2.
What do experts think about this?

OneMesh is a TP-Link proprietary technology, so your question can be answered only by TP-Link.

However there's a new standard EasyMesh which is planned to be implemented in AX73. Probably such security concerns will be addressed there.
