Yes, Microsoft has documented that XP will prefer a broadcast SSID over
a non-broadcast SSID irrespective of their order in the list.

Very interesting. I'm pretty familiar with the concepts behind WPS,
but I was *not* aware of the WPS IE. Given the article title, I

Yes, I have run into one particular problem when an SSID is not
broadcast. We call it a 'code 18, where the problem is 18 inches away
from the monitor. :-)
I have found that it is quite difficult for people who do not have some
experience with wireless, to set up their wireless
We're changing the SSID we've used in the past. In the past it was
Broadcasted.
We plan to Broadcast the New SSID, and non-broadcast the Old SSID.
All new setups, and any calls for help would change people to the New
SSID. The thought is to provide service for the old SSID, but not

Michael,
We tried this and it was immediately shot down by the people higher up.
We only had it not broadcasting for 1 day. That takes a lot more
preparation than a couple of calls to the HD and the unchecking of a box
somewhere. Some people will scream wolf saying that the network is
Broadcasted anymore?
I'm hoping to have a few training sessions with the HD people to explain
the matter before hand.

I am surprised no one has brought up
anywhere and the same is true if a Fac/Staff selects the
student SSID.

In an educational network where you're not try to leverage (erroneously)

Thanks, Stan, for clarifying.
Perhaps I presume, too quickly, that most schools use enterprise-class
APs
or switch/controller-based systems where such functionality and support
for
multiple BSSIDs are standard. =)
Depending on the system
at that as a feature at our upcoming upgrade.

Quick question: has anyone run into any support issues when some SSIDs
are broadcast and some aren't on a campus?

From observations and discussion with others, it seems that that
wireless zero config on windows favors broadcast SSIDs... You may notice
that sporadically it will connect to the broadcast one even if you've
configured the non-broadcast with higher priority.
