3.8.2 Add hidden Wi-Fi

Adding a hidden SSID manually​

Some enterprise or lab networks do not advertise in scans—you add them manually:

  1. Click Add SSID manually at the bottom of the Wi-Fi dialog.
  2. Enter the SSID (case-sensitive).
  3. Enter the password.
  4. If prompted for security type, use what your router/admin provided.
  5. Check Hidden network.
  6. Click Connect.

On success the device remembers the profile—reboot usually auto-reconnects.

Advanced options​

Most home and office setups need no tweaks—only change values when admins require them explicitly.

When unsure what an option means, leave defaults first. After a failure, send the hint to Moss or confirm network type/password with IT.

Ethernet and Wi-Fi together​

With both plugged in and Wi-Fi up, the system typically favors the stabler link—no extra daily steps.

If you only need to verify Wi-Fi, unplug Ethernet temporarily. For permanent routing policy, have someone versed in networking apply it.

2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz​

With dual-band radios, the device often picks by itself.

If links are flaky, rename bands in router admin—for example office_2g and office_5g—then choose whichever is stabler in Studio.
