Hidden 2.4G and 5G On when turned off

2024-01-29 04:27:08 - last edited 2024-01-31 08:34:31

Model: Archer AX73

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.12

I turned my wifi off at night, and double checked on router's Web Server wifi status page that it was indicating off for both 2.4 and 5, I also loose all my wifi connections.

Works for that..BUT the router still emitting very strong 2.4g and 5g as hidden signal sources..strong enouph to disrupt my night sleep!!! I'm extremely disapointed off as i expect it to turn all radiation off as indicated!. Its the only reason when i purchase this router because it had a off schedule...

My bed is 1 feet beside the router and my hear started ti buzz at night, thats how i noticed something was wrong since i purchase this router.

How the hell do stop all radiation except from disconnecting the power?

As @terziyski mentioned, the hidden WiFi is for EasyMesh wireless backhaul, disabling main WiFi network for client devices will not disable the wireless backhaul.

If you are not using EasyMesh, you could disable EasyMesh on Advanced->EasyMesh page:

@Clearalien

Hidden wireless networks could be the Easymesh wireless backhaul - check this thread.

I don't know if AX73 has an Easymesh turn off switch, but if that's the case you can switch this off and test again.
