I'm interested if this has been resolved also, In my case I have two virtual SSID's and would like one hidden and one broadcast. The work around posted here will hide/broadcast "all" of the interfaces globally.
hpsenicka, using ecko's 11207_NEWD_std-nokaid from 12/15 it is still nonfunctional. If you have a working version I'd love to grab a copy and give it a shot.

So was this the workaround tested...or did you just disable the SSID of the virtual only.

Maybe I am not understanding correctly. You guys are talking about a virtual and I was talking about the physical. I just paid a quick visit at lunch time to my V5.
In wireless settings, the basic setup page, there is an option to enable or disable ssid broadcast.
I disabled it, save, apply settings. The router rebooted but it did not affect the "uptime".
Fired up my wireless laptop and the network was not listed in available wireless networks. I could connect to it by specifying the ssid.
Shut down the laptop, changed the router to enable the ssid broadcast, save, apply, the router rebooted again.
Fired the laptop back up, looked at available wireless networks and it was again seen.
Then I disabled it again, disconnected the laptop from it, looked at available wireless networks, and it was gone.

Barryware... your experience with physical SSID's mirrors mine exactly... with every build I have tried.
As for virtual SSID's .. I haven't a clue... never tried one.
