I'm not able to connect to my home WiFi since it is hidden, i.e. SSID is not broadcasted.
As soon as it is made visible, i can connect.
When WiFi is hidden, it just shows: Wifi Searching

I tested the WiFi functionality by making a guest wireless network and I was able to stream video through SSH tunnel to my friend.
Only problem is, the case where SSID is not being boardcast, in other words a hidden WiFi. Just stuck on WiFi: Searching message in the goggles.
I tested the 2.4g network hotspot on my samsung phone, with just switching hidden wifi on/off makes the difference of not able to connect when hidden.

With my main router, i was able to connect at 2.4ghz when SSID was being broadcast. I ran ping to the IP of the goggles.
They pinged fine, until the WiFi is made hidden and the SSID stops being broadcast, ping stops at this point, and resumes when SSID is again broadcasted.

I'm currently at rev 20250715 firmware.
