    Just been on to Support.
    Have renamed both my 2.4 & 5Ghz SSID's.
    Now want to hide the Broadcast under Advanced Settings.
    CS have told me that I if hide the SSID, I won't be able to connect to them either.
    Makes no sense to me !

    Don't listen to them, you can still successfully connect to a hidden SSID.

    Hid Broadcast and successfully connected.

    Is there only the option of hiding 2.4Ghz ?

    Assuming F2000 router

    Under Home Network > Wireless Settings > Wireless Encryption

    there should be two checkboxes for Enable SDID, one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz

    Untick the 2.4 one to hide it.
