I have a digital camera that acts as Wi-Fi access point. It broadcasts SSID but it is not visible in list of networks in charm bar. On the other hand it is visible via netsh command:

Interface name : Wi-Fi
There are 10 networks currently visible.

SSID 7 : DIRECT-F3E0:ILCE-5000
    Network type            : Infrastructure
    Authentication          : WPA2-Personal
    Encryption              : CCMP

Note there are no filters:

Allow list on the system (group policy)
---------------------------------------
    <None>

Allow list on the system (user)
-------------------------------
    <None>

Block list on the system (group policy)
---------------------------------------
    <None>

Block list on the system (user)
-------------------------------
    <None>

The question is why ? I am aware I can setup a manual wifi connection but it will be visible in the networks list even it is not broadcasting. That's not convenient. After all it is just another wifi access point.

It is Broadcom wifi adapter. I suspect the length of SSID or special characters like ':' might be the issue but I can not change the generated SSID format by the camera.

Thanks, Petr
