Enable or disable SSID broadcast for a radio

By default, the router broadcasts its WiFi network names (SSIDs) so that WiFi clients can
detect them in their scanned network lists. Turning off the SSID broadcast provides
additional WiFi security, but users must know an SSID to be able to join its WiFi network.
For each 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio individually, you can enable or disable SSID broadcast,
which then applies too all WiFi networks that use the radio.
