Archer C7 v5 is emitting a hidden network

Hello,
my Archer C7 v5 is emitting a hidden wifi network that I can't explain.
According to a wifi network analyzer, it's MAC address is identical to the MAC addresses of the 2.4 and 5 GHz network, except that the first 6 entries are AA:DA:C4 instead of the TP-link associated 98:DA:C4. The hidden network has same maxium speed of 216.7 Mbps as the 2.4 Ghz network and allows authentication via WPA2 PSK-CCMP.
The hidden network exists independent of the operation mode (Acess Point or Router) and also if both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks are disabled.
Any ideas what that is?
Best,
Frederik

I've just updated to the latest firmware. Now it has on/off switch to disable Onemesh.

Hello, is your router Archer A7? Which firmware are you running now? Do you mean there is a range extender connected to the A7 network?
Can you please show us the screenshot of the hidden network after you disabled the Onemesh on the A7? Reboot the router after you turn off Onemesh on it, thanks.

When is this going to be available for the A6?
I just got an update, but it doesn't have a one mesh option under wireless:
Archer A6 v2.0
1.1.7 Build 20201010 rel.49458(5553)
*update* I would also like to add that I use my router in AP mode only. I do not see a One Mesh option, only in router mode. I do not see a toggle with the latest firmware :(
Regardless, can you please confirm that when in AP mode that One Mesh will be turned off automatically? This is in addition to having the toggle in the One Mesh menu being added to the A6.
