    Connecting a J100 phone to hidden Wi-Fi SSID

    Same post over on Tek-Tips, but I figured I would see if it gains any traction here...

    I know this is a new feature in the 4.1.0 and up firmware for the J100 series phones, but I seriously can't be the only one who wants to do this. WTF am I missing here? I'm updated to the 4.1.1 firmware and the fields are not editable... There is nothing on the phone UI that allows you to enter in a hidden SSID and then select security settings, so I enabled the Web Server and figured I could edit those here... boy was I wrong.



    If I fill out the SSID field the phone just reboots with that SSID as the default, it wont connect to it because it won't allow you to edit the Wi-Fi security settings and setup a password or anything like that.

    Do I need to set this stuff up in a 46xxspecials.txt file? If so this is just ridiculous and NOT user friendly.

    Hate to ask the obvious, but does the phone have the optional Wireless module installed?

    As a workaround, just unhide the SSID for 10 minutes, connect the phone and then rehide the SSID.
