Hello
I’va troubles connecting my (Raspberry Pi-) MAX2PLAY to my hidden Wifi-SSID? The hidden Wifi is not listed (e.g. as Unknown Network etc.) if I start a Wifi scan. (By the way; connecting to a normal, visible Wifi is working great!)
How should I connect to a hidden Wifi it the right way?
Hi Heiner
Thanks. But it seems I have no WPS feature, since my router is actually no really a router but a Wifi-to-Wifi bridge.
Is there another way to get MAX2PLAY connected to a hidden WLAN?
Regards.
PS: Would you like to proceed in German language? 😉

Have you tried entering the Network SSID and the password under the WiFi/LAN menu? If your hidden WiFi bridge is accessible, you should be able to directly log in this way.
No error message – it just does not connect and shows the status as
„Status: WiFi USB adapter status is active. WiFi connection status is active (IP: NO IP! No connection!)“. It works with the same setup if I just reconfigure the router to expose the SSID.
Normally, the plugin should recognize ssid and pw if its within reach of the Pi despite being hidden. Please update to our latest version if you have not yet. The issues also just might have been due to the bridge status of the connection.
