In AP mode with AXE16000 as AiMesh node 10 Gb Ethernet port 2 (on the AXE16000) doesn't appear to work.
 
Got if through the router yesterday and will chime in if anything weird happens.

Still broadcasting unwanted and unneeded hidden networks for each band

This is so strange... I don't understand why hidden WLANs would exist on this router nor why ASUS would release firmware for this router that has them. I see hidden WLANs all around me from my neighbors using packaged mesh systems like TP-Link, Eero, etc., but never from a typical ASUS standalone AiMesh router.

Yea it's meant to provide compatibility for their AI Mesh system.
I wish you could turn it off though.
My neighbor has a Comcast router with like 20 hidden WLANs lol

Should be rather simple for ASUS to permit the user to disable them when not needed. A TP-Link router that supports EasyMesh lets the user disable EasyMesh when not using any EasyMesh extenders... the hidden WLANs then turn OFF.

Just checked mine, I have NO hidden networks showing. I also do NOT have a Mesh. Is the hidden networks only on Mesh based setup?

Correction now I see 2 one locked one open. Not sure if its mine or one of my neighbors?

When I first got the GT-BE98 Pro, it wasn’t like this. If you set the AI Mesh to Ethernet backhaul, all the hidden WLANs would turn off. Then, after an update around August last year, they all turned on and have stayed on ever since.

Toggle EBMode OFF-pause-ON and see if they turn OFF... disappear from the Wireless Log.

I don't know how to read the log.
What keyword am I looking for?

Firstly, if you are able to know when hidden WLANs are broadcasting, the you should be able to know when they stop broadcasting.

To find AiMesh wireless backhaul connections in the Wireless Log, look for their connection entry/details under the wireless band they are using. A backhaul connection between two routers that each have 3 or more antennas can quickly be found by its NSS of 3 or more... a spatial stream for each antenna pair being used for the connection. And you can confirm that the MAC address matches one of the node's MAC addresses. It they are broadcasting, they stand out in the Log since most wireless clients connections are only NSS2 or less.

I'm seeing the hidden WLANs using a WiFi Analyzer app.
Thanks for all your help tho.

Try comparing their MAC address with those of your nodes.

Weird, uploaded this package GT-BE98_PRO_3.0.0.6_102_37812-g78f7da8_1207-g0fc42_BB0B_nand_squashfs.pkgtb 2 and got pinged to upgrade after.

This is the current FW that I have, which looks the same except it has 1208: 3.0.0.6.102_37812-g78f7da8_1208-g0311b_BB0B

Just checked mine which was received via the firmware update in the router, it has the 1208 also

3.0.0.6.102_37812-g78f7da8_1208-g0311b_BB0B, I am guessing the 1208 is newer than the 1207. The update website has the 1207 version. Strange.
