Even setting the phone to telling it its hidden it does not find it.. Using dual band router.

setting the authentication & data encryption is autosetting key which is NOT correct. will not allow me to enter the network key..

erases it also if i enter then select the correct settings

Hiding your SSID is not going to do squat against even a child hacker. Your primary defense should be your authentication @ WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK. I don't know if you've ever played with WIFI Monster but it will locate and display hidden networks ALL DAY LONG. Don't waste your time use better encryption.
