    After the latest OS update on my Z10, I am unable to connect to my Hidden WIFI with WPA2 Personal Key, Tried few times but no success. It was connected after I made visible my SSID in router.
    Before the OS update is was connected with Hiddedn SSID without problems

    I'm not sure there is any benefit to hiding your ssid, it is in every packet you router transmits...m that said your z10 should be able to connect, especially since it has done it before the update.

    Yes, I manually added and connected. It was successful only I made the SSID visible, otherwise No.

    I think it protects you from your neighbor finding it, but anyone looking to hack or crack can basically walk right in with the tools available...
    Hiding your ssid, restricting to specific mac addresses, does nothing more than give you false sense of security...

    Yes, you are True. From master hackers and crackers we cant escape but atleast from some curious learners and students and basic learners. Now a days school kids and college students are too smart in hacking and cracking. So, atleast just hiding from them is basic requirement for me.

    I am able to connect to my hidden SSID after the update - no issue whatsoever. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive.
