Found the following in the Manual "surprise"
, and it works, allows the Routers "SSID Broadcast" setting to be "disabled" and lets the LG phone find and connect to the "router".
To add a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any
security credentials, and connect to it automatically when its in range. You
can also add a Wi-Fi network manually if it doesnt broadcast its name
(SSID) or if you want to add a Wi-Fi network when youre out of its range.
To add a secured network, you need to contact the networks administrator
to obtain the password or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if its not already on, then tap Wi-Fiin the Settings menu.
2. From the Wi-Fi settings screen, tap the Menu Key , then tap Add
network.
3. Enter the Network SSID(name) of the network.
4. If the network is secured, tap Securityand tap the type of security
deployed on the network. Enter the required passwords and security
credentials.
5. Tap Connectto save the information.
The phone will connect to the wireless network (if it's currently within
range). Any credentials that you entered are saved, so you're connected
automatically anytime you come within range of this network.
To forget a Wi-Fi network
You can make the phone forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that
you added. For example, if you dont want the phone to connect to it
automatically or if its a network that you no longer use.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if its not already on, then tap Wi-Fiin the Settings menu.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch and hold the name of the network
that you want to forget.
3. Tap Forget networkin the Context menu that appears.
