Hi,
Is there any way to connect my Form 3 to a hidden wifi?

Haven’t specifically tried this with my Form3, but it works for a surprising number of devices.

Set up WiFi hotspot on your phone with the same SSID and password as the hidden network. Use that to connect, then turn it off and see if the printer jumps onto the real AP.

Some devices will store the BSSID (MAC) rather than the ESSID (name) which prevents this from working as it looks for the specific MAC of your phone that no longer exists, and some further will not connect to the hidden network at all, but you might get lucky.

(Alternatively, if you have control of the WiFi just un-hide the network briefly, connect the printer, then hide it again)
