Looks like this is a MS Windows issue or possible wifi adapter in this PC. The problem is Windows isn't keeping the new currnet settings correctly when it comes out of sleep.


Try a different PC or device to see if it does the same thing.

 

Something you'll need to contact MS about. 


Good Luck.

    In addition to above I would suggest disabling Smart Connect on the router as it may be having an issue with that and manually connecting to 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

      The windows worked fine 3 days ago within TP-link. I disabled smart connection, and after the router restart, windows showed for a brief time all of the identical credentials but just for a brief time after what, all where gone and hidden network appeared again. The problem lies on the router not on the Windows since everything worked fine with tp-link.You can see all the (identical) cedential only after you create "new" credential, after what you get showed all the rest.
