One of the security essentials indicated by Linksys is to disable SSID broadcast after all wireless devices have been configured.</P><P></P><P>When I do so the link between my laptop and the router is lost. The adapter's user manual indicates that if the SSID is blank on the Available Infrastructure and Ad Hoc Networks page - which it is when SSID broadcast is disabled - you cannot activate the network.</P><P></P><P>Is there anyway to ensure the Aironet client adapter is able to communicate w/my wireless router with SSID broadcast disabled?</P><P></P> Sun, 04 Jul 2021 16:30:34 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/disabling-ssid-broadcast/m-p/231894#M33001 admin_2 2021-07-04T16:30:34Z Re: Disabling SSID Broadcast https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/disabling-ssid-broadcast/m-p/231895#M33002 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes, just enter the SSID that your are using on the AP into the wlan config utility you are using on the laptop...</P><P></P><P>This way your AP will not accept association requests from any wireless client except those who are configured with the correct SSID.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 Apr 2004 18:49:50 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/disabling-ssid-broadcast/m-p/231895#M33002 dsidley 2004-04-07T18:49:50Z
