All these security arguments are valid, but they miss the point. It shouldn't matter to the Touch once it has been set up to use the SSID. Whether it 'saw' that SSID or it was entered manually during setup shouldn't matter. If, after it has been set up, the Touch cannot connect to the access point when the SSID is hidden, then it's a bug.
Here's an applicable bug for the Squeezebox Radio. Perhaps it affects all SqueezePlay based devices: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13259 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, so now that you've verified a known bug, what do you do? You carefully consider the security arguments above and get it through your thick skull that hiding the SSID offers you absolutely no added security against anyone with even half a mind to break into your network. So you enable broadcasting of the SSID, the Touch connects, and you live happily ever after. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77672 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
