    Hi

    Hidden network just means there is a wifi router near you which is available but not advertising an SSID. It may be your router, it may be another router. However when you enter your SSID and key, it will seek out your router and connect under a newly created profile.

    Mac and iPhone don't show the Hidden network option, but you can still connect by clicking the 'Other...' button in wifi settings on iPhone or 'Join other network...' on Mac.

    Hi Abdur,

    Please go to the WiFi settings and look for the link to “Manage Known Networks”.

    This will show all networks that have a profile on the PC.

    Click on the network that you want to remove and select the Forget button

    to delete the profile.

    Please let me know if this will work for you.

    Thanks and regards,
