781S - not accepting password after sleep when set to not broadcast SSID

I didn't see an answer to me previous question in this forum, so I'll try again. I need to hide my SSID, but when I do, I cannot reconnect to the wifi after my laptop(s) (mac os X and Windows 8.1) sleep and disconnect. If I don't hide the SSID, I am able to reconnect. 

 

Since there isn't a USB modem driver for the Mac, I have to use wifi but am not supposed to broadcast in my workplace. Can someone tell me if this bug will be fixed or if a Mac driver will be released so I can use this for what I bought it for.
