Hello,

I managed to connect two AP’s via WDS.

But…. now I see an additional WiFi. I though the created profile will be used to connect the AP’s, so that they can “communicate” with each other.

So, here are my questions:

  1. I see now a new WiFi access point (SSID) available called “MyZyXELWDS”.
    1. I thought this will be used the connect the two devices and it is HIDDEN! image-2c5ff905bfc79-f50b.png

Thanks!

    Hi @Ikarus

    Thanks for the information. This issue is because of the enforced MLO rules. It does not support a hidden SSID, therefore, the WDS SSID can't be hidden. For more details, please reference this link with highlight.

    P.S. MLO is enabled by default.
