Dunno. However, before you assume that the router has a problem, it
might be that the web page has a long expire time and that your
browser is reading from the browser cache instead of from the router.

Try forcing a page refresh with <shift><reload button>. Also try
clearing the browser cache. You might also try a different web
browser, or perhaps a different computah.

Also, I don't want to start yet another endless discussion on the
relative merits of disabling SSID broadcasting, but methinks it's a
waste of time and not very useful. What it does commonly do is have
the neighbors shinny new wireless router land on your occupied channel
because they can't see your broadcasts.
