How can I change the wifi name on my Arlo Ultra2 system?

Advertising my new cameras via Arlo wifi address is counterproductive. Can We change the wifi name?
This is a must.

Unfortunately you can not.

Note some camera models (for instance the Pro 4) connect directly to your home wifi (without a base), so you could possibly exchange your Ultra for one of those models. Though the Pro 4 is only 2K, not 4K.

Thank you for your reply. This is a disappointing feature.

Any WiFi connection is relatively easily discovered by someone who wants to. The use of strong encryption and passphrases are what's needed, not "hiding" a connection.
