By default, itll have 5G at the end of the SSID. On Netgear routers, youll see the 5GHz connection as a separate Wi-Fi network in Windows. Typically, 2.4GHz is for distance, 5GHz is for performance. I would suggest adding wireless security to your network(so atleast people can't connect to it) and work on exchanging this gateway for a Motorola SB6141 and then a router at your price point. A lot of modern routers are dual or tri-band, offering 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections. Also, since all the gateways have simular names and identical 192.168.0.1 pages its quite possible this is accidental. I would guess who ever was connecting to your wireless before you disabled the SSID broadcast is still trying to connect, maybe for the very purpose of enabling the SSID broadcast to make it easier for there other devices to connect. See page 1 of this manual. The picture shows it labeled as "Enable SSID Broadcast" while the description calls it "Wireless Access Point".

Furthermore, the manual itself doesn't even define it's true nature. How this is even considered a feature is beyond me, and should have been listed under wireless settings. You wont see the name when you scan, but if you type it in manually, you connect right away. Think of it like being unpublished in the phone book. It seems that only disables the broadcast of the wireless and not the wireless itself.
