Update - I did try disabling AX to allow  hidden networks. TIVO and  two SONY Bravia's  cannot connect to hidden SSID. Got me.  I give up.

I have reset Sony, re-booted router, etc....    Using default wireless settings besides the SSID Name.   Sony will not connect to 2 or 5 GHZ channels if they are hidden.   Smart connect is not turned on.
