Not an issue per say, but considering we have the option to hide main network (I suppose for when guest network is enabled to prevent people from trying to join main network), but is it possible to ask for the ability to also hide the IoT network? Seems odd to be able to with the main network but not the IoT as I'd like to stop it broadcasting so it can't be viewed by the public, and then I can just unhide it when I need to add something else to it

  @SystmOveRide I think the reason why this is not enabled is that most IoT devices (especially the older ones) do not support connecting to hidden SSIDs. Of course, it should still be available as a feature, because if one is sure that is not the case, there should be an option to disable it.

  @IPlayZed ah I see, makes sense then. 
I don't have a lot of knowledge in the areas of IoTs and stuff, but if it's a compatibility issue then fair enough really, but would be nice to have the option and then I guess if stuff drops off the network we know it can't tolerate it haha
