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.
