I purchased this to connect a NAS drive wirelessly to my router. For information on my setup, I have the extender plugged in under my desk, with the both the power cable and the ethernet cable for the nas drive going to it. The extender then connects to my router via wifi.
Both devices have a static ip, and work well enough.
I named the wifi network on the extender differently so that other devices don't connect to it, and also disabled DHCP.
However, in the network list on my laptop, I can see the network name.
Is there any way to turn this part off while still allowing the extender to work how I need it to?
Naming the network the same as the SSID from my router is not an option, as there are other devices connected via wifi to my router, and they would likely end up connecting to the wrong one.
The reason for wanting to do this is mainly to keep the wireless network list down to a minimum, since i'm using it as a wireless bridge rather than an extend
