BE88U Hidden Network (AiMesh?)

My BE88U is set as an wired Access Point to a non-Asus router.

Using a network monitor, I see that the BE88U is periodically broadcasting a "Hidden" network with my SSID. From reading other posts, I believe this is related to the access point trying to establish an AiMesh connection.

I have set the Ethernet Backhaul on, but the Hidden network still shows periodically.

Is there a way to completely turn off (disable) AiMesh on the access point? I cannot see a way to do so in the GUI (version 3.0.0.6.102_39112). Is there a command that can be issues via SSH/CLI that would stop the access point from broadcasting this Hidden network?

If I'm off-base here and the Hidden network is not associated with AiMesh, please educate me.

**Update** Although WDS was not active, I changed the band assigned. Watching to see if the issue is resolved...

Thanks!
