I need to hide the wifi signal of the google wifi point from the public

[rgaila]

Hello Misael Sanchez,

This is not supported by Google/Nest WiFi. It used to be a typical security "best practice", but scanners can see even these "hidden" networks now, so it's no longer effective. The best security is using a strong password.

Hi, everyone.
Just one quick final check in here. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks
