Is the app a necessity for Hub 4? Plus other questions
I've just received an email telling me my old hub that I've had for years (Hub 2) and has mostly been fine is no longer receiving security updates and I've been offered Hub 4. The email mentions that it can be setup and managed via Android app, but I don't want apps for things I've managed without for years. Can I continue to manage Hub 4 via my home IP on a browser, or are there some things locked to the app that I previously accessed by browser? I don't want an out of date hub that's not receiving security updates, but I also don't want any added marketing pzazz "smart intelligent optimisations" or however they put it (it sounds like just setting the channel option to "auto" anyway). I want to set it how I want, without any of said "intelligent" changes ballsing things up (as they inevitably do at some point). Is it possible to switch off said smart features from a browser? I currently use the 2GHz channel for my Home Assistant devices and 5Ghz for my PC, laptop, home server and phone; plus guest channels for visitors, all with different SSIDs. From what I gather the newer hubs don't compartmentalise like that anymore and it will just use one shared SSID and pick the best channel automatically. Am I understanding that correctly and is there a way to manually override that? These concerns aside, how have Hub 4 users found the device itself for reliability and speed? I understand there are issues with the app, but I'm not intending to use that at all.

Unable to disable SSID Broadcasting on Hub 3
I've just had a Hub 3 installed, replacing a Super Hub 2ac, to allow connection of my home phone service to the fibre network. I've been setting things up and find I'm unable to disable SSID Broadcasting the option is greyed out in Hub3 Setting Advanced Settings -> Wireless -> Security. Is there something I can change so that I can alter the setting please?
