Hiding a wireless network name does not create strong network security and can complicate connection management on some devices. Use proper authentication and encryption instead. A player should connect through the router and device's supported network setup.
Check the saved profile
If the network name or security mode changed, the player may retain an incompatible saved configuration. Use the documented forget-and-rejoin process when appropriate, keeping the correct network password privately available.
Avoid security by obscurity
A hidden name is not a substitute for current security settings and a strong password. Do not disable encryption to make the television reconnect. Consult the router's compatibility guidance for older devices.
Make a reversible change
If you administer the network, compare a supported broadcast configuration and reconnect the player. Note any improvement. Keep other settings steady so you can tell whether visibility or another simultaneous adjustment affected the result.
