Default SSID still being broadcast.
Hello, I recently received and set up my 5G for home/business unit. Very happy with the service and price at this point. I set up the 2.4 and 5g SSIDs with the same names and created passwor...
If you have the T-Mobile Nokia gateway then visibility to the settings for the SSIDs is very easy. For the 2.4GHz radio there are SSID 1-4. For the low band 5GHz there are SSIDs 5-8, and for the high band 5GHz SSIDs 9-12. You would need to login as admin and then check each SSID to make sure it is not enabled or enabled for the select SSIDs you intend to use and be sure to save before you exit out of that configuration level.
It is possible to setup multiple SSIDs on each band with the Nokia gateway. I find it useful for my purposes to run two different SSIDs for access to each of the bands. If you want to establish a guest network access and do not want to give out your primary personal SSID access credentials having a second SSID and authentication established is handy. Both would have the same network access after authentication and clients once authenticated could communicate one to another so it is no big deal. I have my reason for running two SSIDs for separate authentication and it works fine with the Nokia GW.
