A hidden Wi-Fi network is a network whose name is not broadcast. To join a hidden network, you need to know the name of the network, the type of wireless security, and if necessary, the mode, user name, and password.
Check with the network administrator if you’re not sure what to enter.
On your Mac, click
in the menu bar, click Other Networks, then click Other at the bottom of the Other Networks list.If the Wi-Fi status menu isn’t in the menu bar, see Use the Wi-Fi status menu.
Enter the network name.
Click the Security pop-up menu, then choose the type of wireless security.
Enter the mode, identity, user name, and password, as required.
The fields that appear depend on the type of wireless security for the network. You may not need to enter all of these items.
If you want, turn on “Show password” to have the password displayed.
Click Join.
