Disable/Hide Option for "TP_TX_VAP" 6ghz SSID on EAP773
EAP773 currently broadcasts a "TP_TX_VAP" SSID when the 6ghz band is active, which is enabled for certain devices with early implementations of WiFi 6E/7. Broadcasting the SSID was employed by several vendors as a workaround for these devices, however, it is now not needed as the majority of these devices have been updated to properly adhere with the 6E/7 spec. Other vendors have disabled the broadcasting for this type of SSID, allowing for a cleaner user experience. Currently, many clients attempt connecting to the broadcast network as it appears as an open network, and their devices remember these networks by default, causing issues when attempting to rejoin the correct/desired network.

There might not be a security concern but it definitly looks bad. Just for reference there was similar issue on UniFi but seems they managed to resolve it. Can TP-Link follow up on that @Vincent-TP ?
