CC3200: how to scan for hidden ssid or directly connect to hidden ssid

Part Number: CC3200

Hi!

This is a two-parter.

1) Is there a way to scan for the presence of a hidden SSID by providing cc3200 with the SSID? I don't want to scan for a specific BSSID, but a specific hidden SSID.

2) Otherwise, what is the correct way of connecting to a hidden SSID?

Thanks,

Michael

  • Hi Michael,

    The purpose of a hidden SSID is that you cannot scan for it. You would have to know the SSID information already and attempt to connect as usual. If it is within range, it will connect. If not, it will fail.

    Best regards,
