Challenge with “Hide SSID” and Using Smart Connect
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
In using the Tether app to set up my AX3200 Tri-band router, it set up all the bands with the same SSID, security and password. Since I had been recently testing a competitor’s mesh system, it was what I expected. Unfortunately I did have to redo the Wi-Fi connection on all devices, but confirmed it would work. I then selected “Hide SSID” and found a number of devices were not able to see the Wi-Fi. I tried redoing the Wi-Fi connections, confirmed to connect when not broadcasting, using QR code, etc. What even surprised me more was that one of the devices I was having a challenge on was using a brand new tp-link Nano AC600 USB Wi-Fi Adapter (Archer T2U). In testing, I then found that in order to make it work, you have to turn Smart Connect off and go through and give each band a different SSID, save, re-enable Smart Connect and then it would work. Is this by design or a firmware bug?
