1. A method comprising:
determining, by an access point (AP), characteristics of a set of virtual access points (VAPs) associated with the AP;
generating, by the AP, a multiple basic service set identifier (MBSSID) VAP based on the characteristics of the set of VAPs, the MBSSID VAP comprising a non-communication-facilitating VAP;
generating, by the AP, an MBSSID beacon based on the MBSSID VAP as a transmitted VAP (TX VAP) for the MBSSID beacon, the MBSSID beacon advertising the MBSSID VAP as a hidden SSID; and
transmitting, by the AP, the MBSSID beacon.
