Hello

Actually the authentication you choose has to be supported by your smartphone and is unrelated to the SSID being hidden or weather you cannot connect.

Usually WPA2-PSK is OK. Needs to be set router/devices side the same.

Not all mobiles phones like to connect to hidden SSID AP's, but you need to enter the actual SSID and expand the settings on the mobile side and there should be some checkbox setting that says Hidden network/Yes/No

You need to select yes.

After that it should work, if it doesn't then blame the user or the phone.

Take care.
