Hi guys, hope you guys can help me with this.
I've currently a wireless network that appears as an unsecured network when I try to access it. It happened right after I hid my SSID on my wireless settings, is that suppose to be normal? It is actually secured though i think. What happens when i double click on the unsecured network is that it'll ask for the network name (lets call it ABC) and after I've entered it, it would continue to connect to the ABC network and would then show up as secured on my network. So what im trying to ask is if the unsecured part is suppose to pop up? If i take off SSID off hide mode, the original network (ABC) would appear back on as secured. |

Whether your router is broadcasting or not, I believe it should still show up as a security enabled connection. If it was me, I would try removing any network connections listed/stored by your computer, then go through the connection process again with the router broadcasting it's SSID. Once you have configured your computer to automatically connect to this network when detected, go back into the router setup page and disable SSID broadcasting. See if that makes any difference? |

I've already setup the laptops so they log in without the need to enter the credentials over and over again. It is a home network.
When i turn on broadcasting, the connection appears as secure again. It only goes unsecured when i turn off broadcasting. |

Hi Terarus, if you don't get an answer here you might ask over at Craigslist Computer Discussion Forum. A couple of geeks that frequent there know wireless connections inside and out. I know how frustrating a problem like this can be...
