the main question here is why hide ssid in the first place , its not a security setting nor is it good betworking practice
have a read of
http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-six-dumbest-ways-to-secure-a-wireless-lan/
its the second on the list if that gives you a good idea
just securing with wpa2 is a far better option
