C3000-100NAS
I have an N300 WiFi cable and modem router. I added an extender. I accidentally hit “hide network” on my iPhone. Oops! How to I reverse the hidden network on my modem?

The C3000 is an anemic router without much wifi capability. Before adding and extender, I'd be upgrading it to a better dual band router. You'd have better speeds/capabilities by upgrading an old N300 router to something AX or even an old decent AC router.

Or replace the C3000, now nearly 10 years old, with a standalone modem and separate router. That gives flexibility ion the choice of rputer and future proofs any change of modem technology.
