Bug Description
I have tried many many time to connect to my router. It is a hidden network (SSID not broadcasted) and it just refuses to connect. I finally switched back to a visible network, connected, then switched it back to be hidden and now I can connect to it. Is this fixable for other people that come into my network wanting to connect? I don't want to go through all of that just to let them connect for a few minutes.

*Is it really a duplicate because I don't have WPA2 or any other protection
on my network. It's just hidden. It's fine if it falls into the same
category, I just wanted to clarify :-) Thanks*
