Hi Terry, > hide the SSID.
You may not want to bother doing this as there are downsides, especially if you take any of those devices elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_cloaking I just plumped for a SSID that matched the pattern of the majority of my neighbours so I didn't stand out. > 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. I think I had that in that past, it certainly seems common for Android according to Google. Most success seems to come from deleting Android's entry added when the SSID was beaconed, and then re-entering the details manually, remembering it's all case sensitive. http://androidforums.com/threads/connecting-to-wifi-network-with-a-hidden-ssid.123819/#post-7450833 Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2017-02-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:[email protected] / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
