Welcome to Android Central! Have you tried unhiding the SSID in the router settings, then making the initial wi-fi connection on the phone, then going back to the router and hiding the SSID again?

Try this:
Set security encryption to WPA2/AES. Do not use WEP, WPA2/TKIP or WPA2/AES/TKIP.

Unhide the network and try to connect. If it works, you can hide the network and try again.

Personally, if making the network SSID visible makes it work, I'd leave it that way. Hiding the SSID really does nothing for security. It's the password that matters.
