Hi Tommy,
Yes you have the procedure correct. Yes it is a bit complex, but it is usually a one time thing. We considered removing the requirement to use HydroFLASH as the SSID, letting it join any unsecured network so that all you would need to do is just bring down your encryption, configure it and turn it back on but there is always the chance that it might join the wrong network, frustrating the user.
Hopefully you have got it joined up and working by now. Please contact support directly via email if you have any issues or questions as the response time is quicker than the forum.
Thanks,
