Hidden ssid
I have read a few posts about this subject but not sure if I understand completely. I have a new A7 and it apparently came with this ssid incorporated within. Some have mentioned that it involves the "open mesh" option which would utilize the hidden band. Can someone confirm this and if so is there any way to disable it showing up on WiFi analyzers?

Thank you Carl, so I am guessing cant be gotten rid of but it doesn't affect bandwidth?. If I change channels will it follow or will it stay.

Correct it does not affect bandwidth but cannot be gotten rid of. It is completely used for backhaul communications between the router and say a range extender when the OneMesh service is used.
