How to set an SSID to hidden but still broadcasted

How to set an SSID to hidden but still broadcasted?  Not sure why i am finding this so difficult. Every other wireless manufacturer, this feature is just a simple check box.

Kind of a big deal

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense..  How can something be hidden and broadcast at the same time?

 

To configure a hidden SSID, use the following steps:

 

  1. Navigate to Wireless > Configure > SSID availability
  2. Select the SSID you would like to manage
  3. For Visibility, choose Hide this SSID
  4. Save your changes

Thank you both, still cant believe this isn't just a checkbox in the SSID settings.  Seems kind of like a no brainer. 

HAHA the new beta version of the management page, it is a checkbox in the SSID settings.
