I disabled wifi on our Hub3 on the 3rd November (when it was delivered) - I use Google Mesh for wifi, and it’s still disabled.

Both have a completely different MAC address.

The hidden SSID is most likely to be another device on your network. Amazon Fire/Roku/NowTV/Chromecast all create a hidden network as do many smart devices.
Entering the MAC address on https://macvendors.com/ might show you what it is, the Hub's MAC will display "ARRIS Group, Inc.".

Re: Wi-Fi upgrade email
Whatever it is, it's definitely not from the hub. The second screenshot shows the hidden network is a different bandwidth (40Mhz) and also considerably stronger.

You've opted out of 'Virgin WiFi', yeah?

I had a very strong mystery WiFi network showing until I realised that it must be my neighbours hub broadcasting the Virgin WiFi signal!

Re: Wi-Fi upgrade email
As previous, no matter how many times I disable the hub 3 wireless, it keeps on re- activating.

How long does it take to reactivate?
Do you turn the hub off at night?
