Hi Team,

 

While using WLAN scanner apps to scan my wifi environment, I am seeing a parallel "ghost" bssid, along with my actual SSID/BSSID that i use at my home.

 

This BSSID seems to be broadcasted by my very home AX1500 radios.

 

On running an OTA packet capture i could see Beacon frames being broadcasted parallely, with the SSID parameter set to "00000000000000000000000000".

 

Screenshot below.

 

 

What is this behaviour about ? Is it expected ?

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

Please do not worry about the network security. As the router supports Onemesh feature, so there is a hidden SSID used for Onemesh network. It is not open and exposed to outside, so please ignore it.
