Feature Request: connect to a hidden wlan / Network

[TheChosentwo]

Hi, it would be great to add the Snapmaker to a hidden network. In the moment you can only connect to network that is displayed on the screen.

Using ip to connect? Luban has feature to connect with ip address through addbutton in connection widget.

That is no option in Luban. Because you need to join first the network. And in the connection screen of the display you can only networks with ssid.

Hi everyone,

any news on this topic? I need to hide my wifi ssid and without this feature I can't...

Many thanks

I get no news to it, since a long time

It would be great if the SM team could add this security feature!

This request has been open for two years without anyone assigned to it, no milestones, and no branches or pull requests. I see discussion about this topic in the forums going back four years or more. It seems clear that Snapmaker is not going to implement this feature. My Artisan is in an environment where I don't control the network so their suggestion of "just unhide the SSID long enough to join the network" is a bit insulting. Besides, I see in the comments above that the machine disconnects as soon as the SSID goes hidden again. For those who may like to lecture me about how hiding the SSID doesn't provide any meaningful amount of security, I refer you to my previous comment about how I don't control the network.

It's quite disappointing that Snapmaker doesn't care enough about its customers to make a system which costs so much and is so well-engineered in other areas do something as basic as connect (and stay connected) to a hidden SSID. C'mon guys, this is low-hanging fruit.
