What Is a Hidden Wi-Fi Network

Wi-Fi Network

Wi-Fi or WiFi (/ˈwaɪfaɪ/) is a family of wireless network protocols, based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves.

? Hidden Wi-Fi networks are wireless networks set to conceal their network SSID (the Wi-Fi name). As such, these types of networks do not appear under the Wi-Fi section of your device on Android, Windows, iOS, etc. To join a hidden Wi-Fi network, you need more than just the password.

What is the hidden network on my WiFi?

A hidden network is a wireless network configured not to broadcast its network name (SSID). That means it's effectively hidden unless you know where to look, as it won't show up alongside other networks.

How can I find my hidden network password?

Windows 10:

  1. In the lower-right corner of your screen, click the WiFi icon.
  2. Click Network Settings > Wi-Fi > Hidden Network > Connect.
  3. Enter the SSID (network name).
  4. Click Next.
  5. Enter the network security key (password).
  6. Click Next. Your computer connects to the network.
