will not reconnect to wifi when ssid broadcast disabled

After connecting to my local WiFi network and saving the WiFi information in the Kindle, I disabled the SSID broadcast. The Kindle will not re-connect, dropping the current connection and showing that the network is "out of range." My Kindle Fire HDx does not have this problem. Is there any setting that would permanently set a WiFi connection to auto-connect when SSID broadcast is off for the router like that which is available on Windows PCs?
