Base Station setup wifi connection fails with hidden SSID

Couldn't get my base station to connect to my wifi network setting up manually to a hidden SSID. It worked fine with the ethernet connection. Ring support tried to tell me that my wifi firewall was preventing it to connect. I tried to tell him that there is only one firewall. I tried rebooting the Xfinity router. Problem connecting to wifi with hidden SSID still.I found the solution. Edit router settings to Broadcast SSID. Connect to wifi in base station setup now works. Then you can go back to router setup and stop broadcasting SSID again. Base station still connected to wifi.
