Hi, Thank you very much for your feedback.
This unknown SSID is used for 6GHz Backhaul. It is hidden by default. After enabling the 6Ghz Wi-Fi, it will no longer be hidden in order to help the 6GHz clients quickly discover the 6G main SSID.
The 6GHz Backhaul SSID comes encrypted by default and is free from any security vulnerabilities. Mobile devices are unable to connect to it.
Best regards.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
I think the two 6 Ghz network, one is for 6 Ghz compatible clients, the other is for 6 Ghz Mesh Backhaul between Deco XE75 Pro. But it is not supposed to be detected as a fake hotspot.
Could you please leave me a screenshot of the detection result on Wi-Fi Daigonotics?
Please also help me summit the Deco APP:
By the way, if 6 Ghz is set up as Backhaul only, would you get the same result on Wi-Fi Daigonotics?
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

@David-TP you can see a duplicate 6e hotspot as ZEQQYJJ6VJQRADV in my wifi network. It will disappear if i setup the wifi 6 as backhaul only

Hi, thank you very much for the details and they are really helpful.
I see you named 6 Ghz of Deco as Trojan_Horse, is Trojan here the SSID of your 2.4 Ghz/5Ghz name which you could check under Deco APP>Wi-Fi settings? They are quite clever names by the way.
Could you please also help me submit the Deco APP log per the link: How to submit Deco APP log
I might need to forward your case later to the engineers to see whether they could find any possible explanation for the current error.
Wait for your reply.
best regards.
