Has anyone been able to get the camera to connect to a hotspot that is no longer broadcasting its network name on WiFi?

I can connect to it just fine when SSID broadcast is enabled on my hotspot but after I turn that off the DR650 is unable to find it even though the hotspot is already configured as the first connection and has connected to it in the past. Other wifi clients can connect to the hotspot with the SSID broadcast option disabled.

By the way I'm using a Sierra 503S on FreedomPop.
 
I figured most people aren't downloading tools to find hidden networks. But you are right, it's more trouble than it's worth. Just have to name my network very generically so it's not as easy to figure out that it's in my vehicle, like with the camera's SSID.
