A hidden Wi-Fi is a network whose name is not broadcasted to the surrounding area.

In other words, if you open your Wi-Fi settings on your device, you won’t be able to see it.

To join a hidden network, you need to manually enter its name, security, and password.

The aim is to improve the security of the network by preventing brute-force attacks.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network on an Android/Samsung/Redmi device.
