@timp78 Are the hidden networks needed also when using Ethernet - wired backhaul for nodes communication. If hidden are not required in such a case then how to disable them ?

@mac.k 

Hi, the hidden Wi-Fi could not be disabled currently;

Wireless backhaul would not be active once the wired backhaul has been built up even though it still broadcasted the hidden wireless signal;

Thank you very much.

@TP-Link 

IF ethernet backhaul  working  should be not active any hidden network. Or if I disable band 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz band hidden network must be same disable on disable band. Im stop use my Deco M4 now until that's will be fixed. Thanks

I was looking to disable them because it was causing errors as I shown above (too large network, overlapping channels and etc). Was having issues and saw these errors as maybe a cause of the problem.
