Hiding 802.11s mesh ID from wifi scans

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hey there!

I’ve been setting up an 802.11s mesh network at home and I realized that the backbone networks appear when I do a scan on my notebook. Is there any way to prevent those from being advertised? A lil obsessive, but I’d rather hide the noise.

I have an Intel AX211 adapter.

Output of the scan:

 $ nmcli device wifi list | grep -e SSID -e MeshBackbone
IN-USE  BSSID              SSID                     MODE   CHAN  RATE         SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY  
        42:ED:00:__:__:__  Olaiz-MeshBackbone       Mesh   136   1170 Mbit/s  84      ▂▄▆█  WPA3      
        70:4F:57:__:__:__  Olaiz-MeshBackbone       Mesh   4     270 Mbit/s   37      ▂▄__  WPA3

Thanks! :smiley:

Even if it's not "advertised" it would be still be present on the ether and occuping air time...

Ps. I'm not quiet sure if it's actually space time in the end... And it's hard to beat physics nowadays.
