• Unable to connect via wireless with SSID broadcast disabled

  I want to configure my router for my SSID is not broadcast, because I think it's a logical step to take for increased security. I have not been able to do since I started using my new laptop Inspiron 5558. I tried this several times and every time I turn off the SSID broadcast, I am not able to connect to the Wi - Fi on this laptop. Other remote computers in my house and my smartphone connect without problem, but nothing I've tried helps my new computer Dell laptop to connect via Wi - Fi, except for allowing the SSID broadcast.

  I have a router Actiontec MI424WR reverend E. I have installed the new driver and the Intel PROset utility and unfortunately nothing has changed. I went to the settings to investigate some of the other solutions offers, and I came across something that seems to have solved my problem. What I found in SETTINGS/network & Internet/change adapter options/Wi-Fi/see the status of my properties of connection/Wireless / on the connection tab, it was an uncontrolled area with the words "connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID). I checked this box, and since then, I was able to connect to my network wireless with SSID broadcast disabled. I will now call this resolved and if no new problems arise. start a new post. Thanks for sticking with me on this.

• EA6300 SSID Broadcast

  How can I disable the ssid broadcast?

  I can't find it on my EA6500, and it might be the same for all routers Linksys EA. I found this link which explains why he is no longer available.

• Printer Hp6700: unable to connect to the router wireless D - Link DI-514 when SSID Broadcast is set to no.

  HP6700 printer: unable to connect to the router wireless D - Link DI-514 when the router Broadcast SSID is set to no. My MAC laptop and HP laptop both work with the set SSID on no. If I change the router Wireless SSID Broadcast is YES, then the printer HP6700 can connect to the wireless router. I set up the printer it saying that the SSID and password have been, the same as both of my laptops, but it connects ever, unless I have change the router to broadcast the SSID. Help!

  Have you tried to update the firmware on the DI-514?

  You can also try to set a static IP address on the printer, and then assign the printer to the list of DHCP static in the interface of the router.
  To give a static IP address to your printer:
  -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
  -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
  -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
  -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
  -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
  -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
  -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
  -Click 'apply '.
  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  After that you remove and re - add the printer to your Mac.

• SSID broadcast

  Want a couple of opinions on the broadcast of the SSID or not. We have 200 series 1200 ap on a University campus and currently distributed only in a few areas (5%) on campus we also have cisco WLSE to manage.

  In my humble OPINION, not broadcasting the SSID is security the same way that wrap you in aluminum foil you made the bulletproof. (It is not / is not, believe me).

  A large part of the decision boils down to bandwidth management.

  For example, do not broadcast your SSID, anyone using MS Windows Zero Config Wireless will have connection problems... ZWC always will prefer a SSID broadcast, often even if you have the client 'hard-coded' to associate with a specific SSID. Expect phone calls.

  Or the other decision, I hope that you have some solid backend authentication and authorization.

  It is essentially you have something other people want to (bandwidth, potentially free band). If you're lucky, people will * only * steal bandwidth.

  In the past, I think you will find that 'only' bandwidth theft is not enough, you will get some hotshot King or kiddie-script, or spammer, porn that will do malicious things in and on your network (if you are broadcasting your SSID or not.. Word bypass).

  Convenience for users and reduce the ' my laptop does not connect to your wireless system (it tries to connect to rogue AP from some students or other hotspot) calls. "

  Also keep them my mind is that if you don't broadcast your SSID, unlike someone else (malicious) (advertise * your * SSID)... they can usurp the user and capture traffic... or at least it makes it much easier to perform a man-in-the-middle attack (do a search for "ettercap").

  Advertise your SSID and have a good system of auth/auth on the back-end. Everything in the newspaper and be vigilant. Have a plan (and a strong policy) to deal with attackers and did not hesitate to run it.

  It is worth a few days of discussion, around this topic and a variety of opinions each valid in a given context. You must weigh the consumers against the administration, against the risk, compared to the budget... and a dozen other variables.

  (In general), there is no single best answer for most scenarios.

  That's why a good designer / architect system pulls down the fortunes and worth ever penny.

  Good luck

• Help: wet610n will not connect to wrt610n when the ssid broadcast is disabled

  I have a wet610n wirteless bridge linking very well with my router wrt610n broadcast ssid is enabled on the router, but when I turn it off then (the rest unchanged), the wet610n can not connect.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Or require the wet610n ssid will be broadcast (I didn't read that anywhere)?

  Thank you

  I have power cycled it, but I tried again and then experienced little more after you reset the wet610n and reconfiguring again.

  What seems to work, is to allow the broadcast of the SSID of the router and leaving the wet610n bridge wireless connection. So I can turn off the broadcast of the SSID and power cycle the wet610n and it can then connect.

  Without the first activation of SSID and connected, the bridge connects wireless.

  Thank you - it is "resolved".

• On remote access points SSID broadcast

  I'm deploying a Uniified Wireless Communication network that spans two location (Head Office and branch) using 1xWLC 4402 and 13 x 1252 APs. Is it possible to configure the access points to the branch to broadcast the ssid, which would not be released on the APs on the WLC seat.

  Thank you

  OLA

  Hi, you could use "overwrite WLAN' to do.

  Here the necessary instructions... to search "To substitute WLAN" in the document to get good paragraph...

• Cisco 5508 wlc mesh SSID broadcast?

  Hello

  I feel a strange phenomenon in my environment. Users on computers laptops Windows seem to be trying to connect to the SSID, they see the arrival of an access point which is mode bridge (and not broadcasting an SSID). I confirmed that nothing weird happens where the bridge would be broadcast SSID (standing right next to the newly imaged bridge on a laptop and when I connect I continue straight to a properly configured flexconnect AP).

  There is no output from the path of the box in Windows to tell the operating system that an access point is not valid once he thinks he is, so I'm reaching out to the community to see if someone else has seen this before. My next troubleshooting step is to bridges in stand-alone mode, if I can't find an answer.

  The environment consists of a WLC HA pair, standard 5508 flexconnect environment internal wireless, and we have a pair of bridge linking the two buildings. The affected computers are Windows 7 and Windows 8

  Hello

  Are you sure the mesh, access point is not configured to announce the WLAN of concern?

  Unless it is in a group of AP with no WLAN, WLAN 1-16 will be announced via its interface 2.4 ghz (and 5 GHz so "mesh access customer backhaul" is enabled).

  Here's a controller cli command to confirm (1550 is the AP name) ("site name" is the ap group)

  (jk-4400-111) > show ap WiFi 802. 11 b 1550

• WLC 2100 limit SSID Broadcast for each AP

  All,

  Is there a way to limit a certain AP to an individual SSID?  We have a WLC 2100 and 6 attached AP.  Let me know if you need more information.

  Thank you.

  Is there a way to limit a certain AP to one individual SSID?  We have a 2100 WLC and 6 AP's attached.  Let me know if you need anymore information.
  

  If you want, for instance, AP1 to broadcast the SSID, 1, 3 and 5.  AP2 to broadcast the SSID 2, etc.

  If this is the case, then AP groups is the way to go.

• Unique SSID broadcast to multiple AP

  Hi all

  How can we configure multiple Access Points in order to disseminate the same unique SSID?

  need to know the configuration...

  Thanks in advance.

  Here's a blog post I did on this very subject, virtual SSID

• Disable broadcast SSID and MAC address turn on filtering on WAG320N

  When disabling SSID broadcast and enabling MAC address filtering on WAG320N, my other laptop wireless disconnected.  And when you try to connect, it connects again.

  You can not hide from intruders.

  The router always sends the tag. The router is immediately detected.

  The SSID is always transferred not encrypted. He is always sent over the association. It is easy to force a re-Association. If there is a single device without wire connected to the access point it takes about a second to learn the SSID.

  Disable the SSID requires your wireless devices to search actively for the network. This means that your laptop will always try to connect to your SSID, as long as it is not connected to another network. As sending requires much more power then listen passively it drains your battery.

  And, in fact, if you are in an internet café anyone can learn your SSID in time where you go on the wireless at the moment where you associate with the network of internet café.

  In addition, it causes many problems with different wireless, as instability or similar cards.

  MAC filtering is still more useless that the MAC address is always part of any wireless transmission and it's always clear. It is extremely easy to pick up the allowed MAC addresses, and it is extremely easy to change the MAC address of a wireless card.

  New: use the real security and forget this nickname of security features.

  What you try to do is a waste of time. Of your time. It will slow down any intruder.

• Hide the SSID 1832i

  Hello, I have the Cisco Aironet 1832i (series 1830) model.

  I would like to know how many non-broadcast of the SSID of the wlan 2 I created (the main and the SSID quest)

  Please let me know the commands I have to configure SSH, as the Cisco operating system is different from the other type of Aironets.

  Hello

  Must be identical to that if you can access it via the CLI (Telnet/SSH):

  https://supportforums.Cisco.com/discussion/12947811/Cisco-Aironet-1830-disable-SSID-broadcast

  The CLI is available, the following command:

  config ssid broadcast disable wlan where wlan id is the number of your wlan. If in doubt, do a show wlan summary which should give you this info, I hope.

• E4200 comments network does not

  I can't get the network feature to work.

  Even if the SSID is activated, it does not appear on all devices trying to connect. The connection manually entering the SSID comments fails (not recognized). On devices with the primary 5 and 2.4 GHz configured, they see the third network but without SSID (unknown) and also can connect manually using SSID.

  Here are my settings:

  Firmware: 1.0.02

  E4200 is configured in bridge (WAP) mode.

  5 GHz network

  Mixed mode

  SSID Astro2-year

  Automatic width

  Channel Auto (DFS)

  Disabled SSID broadcast

  2.4 GHz network

  Mixed mode

  SSID Astro2-bgn

  Automatic width

  Auto channel

  Disabled SSID broadcast

  Guest access

  Enable Yes

  Name Astro2-bgn-comments (not editable)

  Password Guest testpassword

  Total authorized clients 5

  Enabled SSID broadcast

  I was not looking for it before 1.0.02. Have restarted the modem and checked all the configs (several times). The network is online in an office and can not keep screwing with it or change its settings.

  Peter

  This particular E4200 was bought with firmware 1.0.0 and then upgraded to 1.0.01 and finally updated to 1.0.02. I did not hard reset after the upgrade, just let yourself drift on the configs by firmware. See other problems in the forum resolved after upgrade by resetting hard, I gave a try. I printed all the pages of configuration and State, did a hard reset and then entered manually all configs exactly as they were. But now the network comments works and all is well. For those interested, the comments system is placed on a completely different subnet (19.168.33.0/24 compared to my normal LAN on 192.168.0.0/24). In addition, the E4200 is all private IP addresses routable while on the network of comments. This means that you can use the E4200 as a WAP mode bridge anywhere on your private subnet and guest users can only access the Internet routable. Very well! And to close the other question raise in this thread, you can leave the SSID disabled on the main networks 5 and 2.4 GHz and separately enable or disable comments network.

  I suggest always to do a hard reset after firmware upgrade even if your settings seem to have postponed...
