iPhone displays hidden network

My iPhone displays the WiFi connection as hidden, even though my Nighthawk RAXE500 router has SSID broadcast enabled. Any ideas?

    Does anything else say its hidden? Maybe its the iphone just displaying it wrong/different.

    Yes, it turns out that this is specific to this iPhone. It happened after a OS update. After reading your suggestion, restarting the phone resolved the issue, nothing related to the Nighthawk router settings. Thanks for your help.
