Wifi WPA2 fails to connect

With the latest firmware 11.28 and can't connect to a hidden Wifi SSID WPA2. The Garmin 6s pro on 25.10 I'm upgrading from connects to the same network fine. Is it a matter of logging a ticket or is this a known issue ?

Worked for me just fine.

The only problem I have is that it has to be DHCP while I usually only let devices with a dedicated IP address into my network. That taken care for: it worked.

Sry, didn't read the part with "hidden". So yes from me too. Won't work.

Yet works on my fenix 6s ?!?!? Doesn't make sense.

Not really. Let's face it: the possibilities to configure WIFI are rudymentary anyway to say the least. I can't find a way to even set the SSID name which would be prereq for connecting to hidden networks or even more a fixed IP or DNS.

Obviously that was possible with Fenix6? At least the SSID name? How? Directly on the device or with Garmin Express? B/o I have the feeling that GE > 7.15 has some limitations as for configuration - at least with me, I can't even configure and download maps using GE anymore since 7.16.xx. Not sure wether this is a firmware or a GE problem though.
