Re: Unable to disable SSID Broadcasting on Hub 3
I sorted this out in the end via this extremely user friendly approach. I opened the security settings in my browser. I used the browser's development mode inspector to find the relevant checkboxes int the HTML source. I changed the CSS classes and attributes from (in my case) disabled to enable in the inspector (which has the nice feature of realtime DOM updates). I then had a ticked checkbox where before I didn't. I saved it and it worked. In other words, the fix for the issue is trivial and there's no reason why this couldn't have been a single small patch shipped months ago. TBH I'd do it for free if someone sent me the source. 😉 If you do this you're looking for content in the DIVs named tr_EnableSSIDBroadcastSecurity or tr_DisableSSIDBroadcastSecurity within the (for example) Wifi24GHzSecurity DIV. I'm not going to be more specific because it's probably best you have some tech skills if you're hacking the page DOM to get what you want. Note: Caveat Emptor. If you brick your Hub I'm not responsible.1.8KViews1like2CommentsRe: Unable to disable SSID Broadcasting on Hub 3
It would be great if they pull their finger out here. I need to turn on SSID broadcast for both 2.4 and 5Ghz to support modern and older devices. I cannot do this unless both check boxes are modifiable. To be honest my Hub 3 experience is quite poor. My WiFi mesh broke so I had to fall back to the Hub's WiFi and so far I've: 1) A set of password restrictions that mean I can't use my old highly secure password so I've had to reset passwords on all my devices. 2) A failure to broadcast 2.4GHz SSID which means my printer and Christmas lights can't connect to the network. 3) A big where if you enter the username and password via keychain (Mac) and then press return it double logs you in, says you are already logged in and won't let you log in again until some timeout. The sooner we can get the SSID Broadcast options updatable the better.1.8KViews1like3Comments
