Hidden Network?
I was looking up "Hidden Network" and came across the article below. https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/Tech-Support/Hidden-Network/td-p/87463 The above link is something Amanda had posted a rep...
Better question: How would a booster know there was a modem there to link up to if there wasn't a separate back-channel to the modem that only it could see?
Fact is that it's not really a hidden network, it's basically a periodic pulse (albeit a separate ID) of the existing one, presumably for the purpose I just stated.
Though you may have concern, it can't be utilized by anything other than the WiFi booster. No one can use it to hack into your system or anything like that, if that's what you're worried about.
