Wifi Problem - No HIdden Ssid Option

Now i don't have the option to define my wifi network as hidden ssid.
so, whenever i set then router to hide the ssid i can't get connection to my wifi network, if i unhide the ssid - connection is ok.
any help please ?

Per network settings

Ok, if you need to connect to a WiFi network with no DHCP service where you are allowed to choose an IP (like your own home network where you want a specific IP), you have to go:
Settings > Connections > WiFi > Wireless Networks > Network Adapters > IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter and there change to Use specific IP address and the like.
But the changes you make there, are valid for all your WiFi connections (since they are network adapter related). If you later need to connect to a public WiFi where you can only get an IP through DHCP, you have to go back and change the setting again all over again.
Is there any way/software that can keep these settings per network? Eg. if the network's name is Freenet then use DHCP, if the network's name is Home then use specific IP, DNS, etc.
There's something for windows.. which i'm almost positive will be work for WM.
I will check it when i get home..
Anything ?
nir36, can we please move this to "Networking" in case someone there knows anything? Or should I repost there?

If you connect your device via usb activesync than it will automatically use the computer's internet connection. (I think this is the default windows mobile behavior).

For a wireless network do the following....
Make sure that your router is not set to hide your network (Broadcast Network option should be on).
If you have used mac protection (an option on your router) then you will need to first get the mac address of your Topaz and put into into your router security.
On your Topaz do the following:
1) Go to the communications option under the setting page.
2) Turn WiFi on.
3) Press on the Wi-Fi option and it will show a screen of networks it finds and the signal strength
4) Press on your network
5) If your network is passcode or wep enabled then you will be prompted to enter the key
6) Save the connection (move to first preference if possible so it is faster to connect)
You can now select to hide your network on your router if you want to
If you set the network to autoconnect then when you turn on your WiFi in the future the network will connect automatically if in range

WiFI

How do I connect to a network that requires a password?
settings > connections > swipe up, you'll see wifi, check the box to turn it on, then swipe up again to see Wifi networks, choose one and it';; prompt you to type in the password using the onscreen keyboard

Manually connect to wifi not broadcasting ssid

I saved my home wifi network profile and set it to connect automatically but as soon as I disable broadcasting ssid in the router, it wouldn't connect. I don't see any place to manually input ssid and password. It was there on previous Android versions.
Isn't that under add Wi-Fi network any longer?
I'm using a Note 8 ROM, and I believe the networking setup is the same as stock S8.
Go to Settings/Connections/Wi-Fi and at the bottom is "Add network".
The settings you need are there.
