Hidden (already saved) SSID wont show on Windows 10
Hi, Pain in the ass this Netgear, just switched from TP-link thinking I would make an upgrade (stupid paid YouTube ass "revievers", comercial useless crap is what I paid nearly 300 bucks for!!)... Th...
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.
Try some of the stuff on this page, I really do think it's a Windows problem:

Connected old TP-link again and it works normaly and shows already saved hidden SSID credentials straith away, just like it did before. So, It is not Windows, It´s damn Netgear...Spending 4th day now trying to get something to work where it should already work like a charm near that price tag!!! One really should shut down this YouTube crap "reviews"... This is plane simple untested crap, period! Bringing crap back to where it belongs buying new TP-Link!
