Networking – How to prevent wifi router from broadcasting multiple ssids

routerssidwireless-networking

I have the following Wi-Fi router: http://www.beetel.in/business-solutions/international-business/adsl/450-four-port-wifi-modem

And I am also posting screen shots of ISP settings (from 192.168.1.1). Problem is, my Wi-Fi router is broadcasting multiple SSIDs (even the SSIDs which I used in the past and aren't entered in settings at present).

How do I resolve this to broadcast single SSID? I have already tried factory settings restore.

SSID1 Settings

SSID2 Settings

There is a way to disable it by modifying the settings file of your router.

  1. Go to “Maintenance -> Update -> Backup/Restore” and save the settings of your router on a file.
  2. Copy the settings file (just in case you make a wrong change)
  3. Open it in WordPad or some other editing program.
  4. Search for MGMNT
  5. change this text above MGMNT: N="DISABLED" V="0x0" N="SSID" V="MGMNT" to N="DISABLED" V="0x1" N="SSID" V="XXXX" and save the file.
  6. Upload the new settings file on the router by going to “Maintenance -> Update -> Backup/Restore” and select load from settings file.
  7. Upload and your router should restart without MGMNT SSID.
