Feature Requests & Ideas

Follow-up on this post from 2018, which didn’t seem to have a direct resolution for: Ability to connect to a hidden wifi network

A lot of reasons to use hidden SSIDs, modern connected devices should probably be able to connect to them, can we have this feature and if not, why?

And before anybody mentions or suggests it, I feel like the workaround of fooling the printer with a phone/temporary hotspot with the same (but visible) SSID and then turning it off is inappropriate in some environments to even suggest, let alone make standard procedure. And also, just a super janky/non-elegant thing to do for an otherwise pretty elegant system.
