Accepted Disable/Hide Option for "TP_TX_VAP" 6ghz SSID on EAP773
EAP773 currently broadcasts a "TP_TX_VAP" SSID when the 6ghz band is active, which is enabled for certain devices with early implementations of WiFi 6E/7. Broadcasting the SSID was employed by several vendors as a workaround for these devices, however, it is now not needed as the majority of these devices have been updated to properly adhere with the 6E/7 spec. Other vendors have disabled the broadcasting for this type of SSID, allowing for a cleaner user experience. Currently, many clients attempt connecting to the broadcast network as it appears as an open network, and their devices remember these networks by default, causing issues when attempting to rejoin the correct/desired network.

I got customers asking me what it is thinking it's a security risk and questioning me about it.
They need to drop a firmware to get rid of this non-sense.

I've removed the eap773 altogether and redeployed the eap670 it was meant to replace until this is confirmed fixed. It seems silly this is an issue still. I came to Omada products to get away from the level of stupid the likes of Ubiquity were displaying only to be met with it once again.... so disappointed
