Archer C6 switch off hidden channel
Since I don't use the mesh functionality I want to switch off the hidden channel to get as less as possible disturbance. How can I switch off?

Hi, thanks for bringing this up again.
Sorry that it is currently not configurable for the hidden wireless network of the C6, but we already have the plan to add the on/off switch for it, please keep an eye on the official website for the future firmware updates, thanks a lot.

@Kevin_Z Please also make sure, that these hidden networks/channels are turned off when the "Wireless Schedule" turns off the visible network.
I use the schedule function to turn off the Wi-Fi at night for less "pollution" but now I found, that these hidden networks are still on.
Thanks!

Hello, thank you very much for bringing this up again. The Wi-Fi Schedule on/off feature will not take effect on the hidden network, while we will soon release a new firmware that will allow you to disable the hidden network, please kindly wait.

Any news on the new firmware to disable the hidden network?
I did not find a new firmware for the Archer C6 V2.
Can I download a beta somewhere?

@terziyski Thanks! The beta works. The hidden channels are now gone if the Wi-Fi is switched off at night. Great
