If you are going backwards in release number you might still have them (that is from one of the older recalled beta's). However there is NO guarantee they will work. In cases like that you have to RESET the router and then re-apply manually your setting for proper operation.
If you are moving up from and older official release, like V1.0.4 or older you don't need to reset the router but it is advised. In this case I'd give it a try, have any problems, reset and re-enter is the first thing to try. DO NOT load saved settings from any other version into a new one. That seems to be asking for trouble these days.
All my devices are set up so that they will connect to the WiFi configured even if it's not broadcasting its ssid. But in this case, it doesn't work.
A wireless network has an SSID to distinguish it from other wireless networks in the vicinity. The SSID was never designed to be hidden, and therefore won’t provide your network with any kind of protection if you try to hide it. It’s extremely easy to find the ID for a “hidden” network—all you have to do is use a utility like InSSIDer or Net Stumbler or to scan the network for a short while to show all of the current networks out there. It’s really that simple, and there’s plenty of other tools that do the same job and most are free.
