Connecting to a hidden Wi-Fi network
A Wi-Fi network might be hidden, which means the network name isn't broadcasted.
In this case, it won't appear in the list of available networks on the
Wi-Fi Settings
screen and a notification won't appear when the network is in range. To connect to a
hidden Wi-Fi network when it's in range, you'll need to enter the network name and
password.
The network name and password are case sensitive.
