Hi,
I have just installed a shiny new Netgear VSDL Router to replace the never
updated Plusnet supplied one.
The main reasons that I bought it is that the Plusnet router has the above
mentioned lack of security patches and the inability to filter on MAC Addresses
or hide the SSID.
Having set the router up, I find that all of the devices in the house work
fine,
except an aging (but frequently used) Asus Transformer. The wireless connects
fine until I hide the SSID and then the Transformer reports that there is no
Internet and there is no wireless symbol in the task bar. A message then pops
up stating that wireless networks are available, but needless to say, not my
hidden ones.
Devices that work include two Android phones, a Chromebook, a Raspberry Pi,
two Win 10 machines (an old MSI laptop and a new home-brewed gaming desktop),
a Roku TV box, a Panasonic TV box, a YouView TV box and this Dell Optiplex
running Kubuntu.
I'm assuming that the problem is the incredibly early version of Android on
the Transformer, but has anyone got any other ideas?
