Can someone confirm I understand?
To use hidden networks you have to use fast_connect.
Fast_connect can only be specified with one network.
To aim the connection to a particular AP with ability to fall back one can specify multiple SSID’s, with priorities. But this is not possible if they are hidden.
Another alternative is to specify multiple BBSID’s (same SSID) and priorities; when I try this the priority seems ignored. But regardless this would also require multiple networks which won’t work with fast connect.
So you can EITHER use hidden (and let fast connect pick one at random) or not hidden and then you have several choices of priorities.
Do I understand the implications correctly?
I am curious (assuming I have it right) is this a wifi standard issue or an ESP limitation?

PS. I was going to direct ESP devices carefully to the closest AP with a fallback, but as I add all those SSID’s it seemed desirable to hide them though not necessary.
