How to connect Win8.1 to hide SSID network and wireless networking

Recently, I found that the wireless network in my home often slows down inexplicably. Sometimes I will drop the line. After some reason, I found that the original wireless network password was cracked and was caused by others. For professional passwords, the wireless password was immediately modified and the wireless security settings were enhanced to hide the SSID. The problem is, after setting the hidden SSID in the router, the Win8.1 notebook that I use is also unable to find my own wireless network, thus wireless networking. So how does Win8.1 connect to the wireless network with hidden SSID? Through some research, finally find a solution.
