Client mode connection to hidden SSID

@Pablomagno

As you said the R8000 is not running OWRT, can you give it a try with OWRT or you need the stock firmware?

I'm running FreshTomato on the R8000 and have avoided using OpenWrt due to speed issues reported here Nighthawk R8000 Throughput Speed Issues

I did restore the R8000 to stock firmware and it works fine with hidden SSID so the issue is with FreshTomato and how it handles the hidden SSID

I will log this fault with the FreshTomato developer but there still should be a way to force OpenWrt to connect using WPA_Supplicant
