WiFi, unbale to log on if SSID is hidden
I couldn't log on to my WiFi network with my Glo due to the SSID not being broadcast, after enabling SSID, instant connection, is this a bug ?.

It is not a bug per-se, but unfortunately it is indeed how Kobo devices work.

There is very little (if any) security gained by hiding SSIDs. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28653...y-more-secure/
