From: Scott on 1 May 2010 23:23 I have a Netgear AP at home. A couple of laptop computers are connecting to the AP successfully. One of computers (Compaq NC6400) is intermittently connecting to the AP. At the end of day, I discover that boardcasting of SSID can improve connection rate for that computer. Is that computer configured something wrong to have such issue? Is there any way to correct it as I would not like to broadcast the SSID as a measure of security? Thanks, Scott
From: Barb Bowman on 2 May 2010 07:30 Not broadcasting the SSID is mistakenly thought by a lot of people to be a measure of security. It really isn't at all. Use WPA2-AES security and broadcast the SSID and you should be secure. On Sun, 2 May 2010 11:23:06 +0800, "Scott" <NoSpam-Scott.Xe(a)GMail.com> wrote: >I have a Netgear AP at home.
