WiFi configuration in endless loop

[will]

I've tried to configure my network:

Start smart tv
tell 'enable'
manually entering my network name (as it is a hidden SSID of my network)
refresh... and then I end in a endless loop...

Switching tv off and on seems to be the only way to break this loop.

Guess the refresh causes the menu to go into some state it should not go into, due to the hidden network.

Hi Will,

Unfortunately the hidden SSID network is not supported, in order to have a more secure connection you can use an encrypted Wifi network.

Uhm... well... after a bit of trying it works just fine now.

Hidden SSIDs are quite common... bit strange that it not 'officially' supported (and even stranger that the software offers 'manual entry' exactly for that purpose...).

Maybe just fix the bug that you get after you click on 'refresh'? Doesn't seem to be related anyway.
