Windows 10: Wifi Network Now Missing and new "Hidden Network" shown - Windows 10 Home

The wifi network I use does not show up anymore on my laptop in my home. That particular computer is running Windows 10. Other networks are still there, like neighbors' networks2.4 and 5.0gHz, etc, but my network5.0gHz is no longer there, even though it shows up as usual on all other devices. I think this may have caused by my laptop connected to the 5gHz wifi and a power outage happened in my place, when the power is back, this happened. Now there is a "hidden network" shown, and although I enter my wifi name and password as requested, it will not take it and connect to internet.To summar

Wifi Network Now Missing and new "Hidden Network" shown - Windows 10 Home

The wifi network I use does not show up anymore on one of several computers in my home. That particular computer is running Windows 10. Other networks are still there, like neighbors' networks, etc, but my network is no longer there, even though it shows up as usual on all other devices. Now there is a "hidden network" shown, and although I enter my wifi name and password as requested, it will not take it and connect to internet.

To summarize, usual network does not show up, "hidden network" in its place. Computer not connected to internet.

How do I resolve this? Thanks.

 

Wifi Network Not Showing Up, Hidden Network in it's place?

My home wifi network does not show up anymore on one of several devices in my home. I can see my neighbors' networks (both 5 and 2.4 connections) and can even see and connect to my phone hotspot, but my wifi is no longer listed, even though it shows up as normal on all other devices. Now there is a "hidden network" shown that I'm pretty sure is suppose to be my wifi since it has a strong signal and my other devices don't have a hidden network on their list of available networks, but although I enter my wifi name and password as requested, it will not accept it and connect to internet. That particular computer is running Windows 10 and is the only device in my home running it.

I have already reset the network settings, updated drivers, double checked my router settings to see that I didn't accidentally set it as hidden, and I even bought a new network adapter and though more wifi networks show up, my home wifi remains a hidden network. Any idea where to go from here?

 

What is 'Network Name' shown as 'Hidden Network' for?

Yes, but not all Routers can let you hide the SSID.



Besides, I read that "SSID is a network name, not — I repeat, not — a password. A wireless network has an SSID to distinguish it from other wireless networks in the vicinity. The SSID was never designed to be hidden, and therefore won’t provide your network with any kind of protection if you try to hide it."

However, I think that Ethernet connection/Network has SSID.
See screen shots below:
My Ethernet connection/work has a different SSID than Wireless connection/network



However, when I merged them, then then the SSID became one for both.
