Hidden Ssids visable.

Hi 

Im seeing hidden ssid neing broadcast from a very similar MAC address to my hub 5. It differs by one number. The signal strength is the same as my network signal. Im worried my router is comprimised. Whats going on?

    Possibly used for VM pods. Hidden SSIDs are useless they are easily visible with the correct tools. You hub cannot be ‘compromised’, logon to it and check the settings.

    Are your "very similar MAC addresses" for the Hub's WiFi and ethernet ports?
