Disabling ssid hasn't worked in ddwrt with broadcom for a long time. Also see the announcements at the start of this forum. You might have other problems repeating the signal, depending on build, encryption, etc.

Disabled Wireless SSID Broadcast under Virtual Wi-fi Interface is working fine for me on build 16773M NEWD-2 K2.6 Eko. Post your hardware and build number of DD-WRT.

I got it to hide by creating a virtual interface, setting SSID to hidden on the virtual, then deleting it.
v.16890

Sorry, should have read that better Wink

Working good for me on my RT-N16.. You might want to put both routers on the same version of firmware.

And of course, read what Pied said to.

In this specific case, it happens that you can. However this only applies to updating from dd-wrt flashed routers, and you can only use it because both only support a micro build. It is EXTREMELY important that you read the peacock announcement to understand builds and how to choose them. You also NEED to follow the proper process in flashing, which is also explained in the peacock announcement.
