Model: Deco X50-5G  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.1 Build 20241211 Rel. 29496

Is there any way to disable the hidden 5Ghz Mesh Network?

We are using the Deco Router with three X50 "Repeaters" to create a mesh.

Disabling 5Ghz Wifi Network does not help - we still can track down a 5Ghz wifi with a hidden SSID; which is probably produced by the mesh technology.

 

It would be great to get an answer :)

Hi, thanks for the feedback. 

Can I also have the firmware version of the satellite Deco X50?

Deco X50_5G_v2_1.0.1 Build 20241211 Rel. 29496 should support ECO Mode_V1, and if the satellite Deco X50s support it too, you can try to enable ECO Mode>WiFi Schedule and keep 2.4GHz WiFi on

  @Louis12356 You cannot disable a band for usage by the backhaul between Deco.

What is the issue, why do you want to prevent usage of that band by the Deco backhaul?

We are using the Mesh on a business exhibition and the 5Ghz backhaul uses bands which are conflicting/interrupting other 5Ghz wifi networks.

Self hosted 2.4Ghz wifi is allowed by the organizer; but 5Ghz is not. Thats why we would like backhaul on 2.4Ghz.

 

I know the deco is made for personal use and not for business use and we could also set up a wired network (with more preperation before the start of the exhibition); but thats how the current situation is.
