You Island SSID is broadcasting because you have a mesh configured. The AP can't find its controller and trherefore broadcasting the Island SSID. can not be turned off. Unless you factory default the controller and configure the network wihtout mesh

Are you running a Zonedirector 1100,1200, 3000 or a SZ?

No, I don't use any Zonedirector device. It's just a standalone AP connecting with our ordinary router and server. thank you

In that case it is strange. I think you have an AP that was once connected to a controller with mesh configured on it. You have to factory default the AP by holding the reset button for 8 - 10sec that will remove your config including the mesh settings. Yuo can then just configure your AP as standalone.

Interestingly enough, my R720 started advertising Island-XXXXXX SSID after I did the factory-default reset by holding down reset button...
