I am using a Meraki wireless network, but I am unable to connect to a hidden SSID. I am using Windows 7.

» Connecting the Android device to the network with a hidden SSID Connecting the Android device to the network with a hidden SSID Every smartphone or tablet user, as well as those people who have a router, should know how to connect Android to Wi-Fi with a hidden SSID. However, it’s not a secret that you can easily detect “hidden wireless networks”. Windows 7 now even alerts you, listing Other Network on the list of nearby networks. Not only can you detect non-broadcasting networks, but you can easily discover the SSID with the right tools—anyone can do it. I am really liking Windows 10, I think it's clean and organized. But one feature is really annoying to me. In previous versions of windows, if you wanted to connect to a hidden network, you simply selected 'Connect to a hidden network.' Then you supplied an SSID and password and the OS would take care of connecting you.

In the past, the laptop in question has been connected successfully to DYD-VPN. However, that SSID is not listed in the Wireless Network Connection dialog. This error is occurring no matter which user I am logged on as.

I've tried to manually re-add it, but Windows is telling me that -

A network called DYD-VPN already exists

From here I choose the option Use the existing network, which tells me that the Wireless Network Connection dialog will be opened to allow me to choose the network. However, the dialog is not opened, and when I manually open it, yet again the SSID is not listed.

I have tried restarting every single access point, as well as the laptop, but still no joy.

Can anyone please suggest how I could fix this problem? Thanks.

You can try deleting the existing wireless network.Goto the network settings and in the left pane click on manage wireless networks. Delete the existing wireless network and try to reconnect to this network.

It should work.

Thanks.

You may try to re-install your wireless adapter driver to see if this problem could be resolved. Open device manager, find your wireless adapter, right click and select uninstall. Then you'd click 'Scan for Hardware Changes' in the action menu to make windows re-install the wireless driver.

It should work.

Windows 10 Add Hidden Wifi

When you click on the wireless icon on the taskbar, network flyout comes up which displays all the Wi-Fi networks around your location detected by your PC’s wireless adapter. Depending on the time of the day and where you live, you might see a few Wi-Fi network names (SSIDs) to tens of them.

People who have configured Windows 10 to automatically connect to a Wi-Fi network generally don’t need to click on the Wi-Fi icon as Windows 10 automatically connects to the Wi-Fi network as soon you turn on the computer.

If for some reason, you don’t like to see your neighbor’s Wi-Fi network in the network/Wi-Fi flyout, you can make your Windows 10 PC to ignore the Wi-Fi and don’t show it in the Wi-Fi flyout.

As you are aware, the network/Wi-Fi flyout doesn’t offer an option to hide a network. We need to use the Command Prompt to hide a Wi-Fi network.
