Hi, If I understand you have 1 camera which is not working when you try to hide SSID. Have you tried your conf without "ignore_broadcast_ssid" option? Do you have this problem with 1 equipment or more? I use this hostapd.conf file : interface=wlan0 bridge=br0 #hw_mode=g channel=6 ieee80211d=1 country_code=FR ieee80211n=1 #ieee80211ac=1 wmm_enabled=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0 ssid=Whatever I can hide SSID if need to with that configuration file.
