Hello everyone! I recently just switched from Deco M5s to 2x Archer BE805 and managed to set up EasyMesh and it's ethernet backhauled, I do have one questions is why does the Satellite Router is still broadcasting it's SSID? Are there any ways I can disable this? or I can leave it be and this won't cause any interference. Thanks in advance!

Upon successful Easymesh configuration the satellite router should broadcast the main router SSID - here's the guide for configuring.

In such a setup satellite device clones the wireless settings of the main router and it shouldn't broadcast any different SSID.

  @terziyski i did exactly as the guide said, reset the device to factory but does it have to be connected literally directly to the Main's lan port or i can use the wall ethernet port which is connected to the main router?

If the wall ethernet port goes to the main router then this shouldn't be an issue.

In the guide I posted, there's a screenshot where you should be able to see the satellite router wired.

That's in the section "How to confirm whether Ethernet Backhaul is working or not?"

If you see the satellite router in the satellite devices list then everything's OK.

  @terziyski yes, its showing up in satellite devices, but not sure why it is still broadcasting it's own SSID though and how do i confirm it's also broadcasting the Main SSID? When I'm near it, my phone doesn't show up in the Satellite's connected devices.

What do you mean by "still broadcasting its own SSID" and "my phone doesn't show up in the Satellite's connected devices".

You satellite router should broadcast the same SSIDs like your main router.

The wireless signal strength of the main router could be the reason for your phone to connect to it, when you're near the satellite router.

Post some screenshots for clarity on that matter.
