Hidden SSIS's I didn't create showing on scanner

joseph_voldeck — Mon, 14 May 2018 21:25:40 GMT

Hello,
When using a WiFi Scanner for signal issues I am seeing Hidden networks that I didn't create and they are from MY network. What are the hidden network or signals being broadcast from the AP's ? In WiFi Analyzer they show as question marks and show they belong to Ruckus.

Thank you
Joseph

You have any wireless devices running off it ? wireless mice etc ? anything like that might appear. You could disable any hardware like that and see if the ???? disappears.

Thanks for the reply. Nope let meshow an image that will be better that the way I asked it. This iscoming from the AP's howeverI do have a few WLAN's turned OFF on the ZD I don't know if that is an issue or if this still just brodacast management beacons.

Do you have mesh enabled?

Yes I do. Is that it!? I tried everything on the controller and totally forgot about that. I cannot check at the moment but what do you think

I'd say it's likely the case. The mesh SSID is hidden, and 5GHz only on capable APs. You could try disabling mesh on a specific AP and see if it disappears from the scan.

Well I cannot do it via GUI and cannot find a command line command to disable mesh on the controller. I did however snifff some packet and some of the hidden networks are Sonos backhaul mesh and some are Ruckus. So I still want to disasble mesh and see what happens.

You can do it on an individual AP basis, or per AP group on 9.13+. It isn't allowed to disable it globally as this could permanently isolate mesh APs you may have.
