Hi then I just added a secured network in my wireless network set up. Prior to this I could always access my wireless network. But since I secured my network with SSID and protected key I cannot access it. I can access a couple of neighbours networks but not mine. Can anyone trell me how to define my BA to work with my network? I have trioed everything but it does not recognise my network?
Any replies appreciated.
Thanks John.

Hi
I have a WiFi network at home (802.11g), the network does not broadcast a network name and also has 64bit WEP security active.
When I turn on Wirless Lan On I cannot find my network.
When im out and about and turn Wireless Lan On, I can connect to any network thats available.
Has anyone got any ideas how i can setp up my PDA to work with my Wireless Network at home?
Many thanks
Matt
Hey all, does anyone know how to get the Universal to connect to a hidden wireless network? I've got the router set up on WPA-PSK and know all its info but i cant seem to find anything which allows me to put in all the info and it will connect to it, when available, like i can on my computer. Only way that seems an option is through a VPN.
I've got it hidden just for security as well as MAC control (im in a high student/geek density area)
Cheers

If you have disabled SSID broadcast you need to add the SSID and the other parameters manually in the Pocket PC. Go to wireless settings, view wireless networks, add your own.
Ahh that worked
Dunno why I didnt notice that before, Doh!!
Thank you.

am trying to acess this hidden wireless network in my school on a tmobile dash wit htc wm6 rom..i noticed that all the laptops were wireless so i was thinking if there was any way that i can find the signal on my phone and access...it
thanx in advance...
yeah u can easily do that.
just get the SSID, WEP key(if specified) and the channel of the WiFi network and put that in the wireless settings as a new connection and u will be able to connect to the network.
but there could be a problem if the network does not support DHCP or if there is some proxy setup of gateway defined as then u will have to get those details also.
Would like to know is there any way to connect to wifi hidden network?
All of my devices (ie. Laptop, PSP, Windows Mobile PDA) are able to connect to the hidden network but the Magic can't. Any idea to do this?
Mine wifi connection is hidden (I didn't broadcast the SSID). If the I enabled the SSID broadcast, then only it can connect.
Do share some experience on this since I can't find any additional settings on the Magic.
Thanks!
settings>wireless controls>wifi settings>add wifi>fill in from there.
My old neighbor hide his wifi and i just typed in the name that used to pop up in the ssid and it worked just fine. I had to do it with every comp and wifi devise in our house.

Yep it's working. Thanks a lot!
We have to add it manually. Previously what I've done is I've unhide the wifi connection and broadcast the SSID in order for the Magic to see it. From there I've added the network to the Magic. Then I've set the network to hidden mode again. After that, the Magic won't connect to the hidden network. Main point is that it seems to remember whether the network is hidden or not when the network is added into the list.
** Windows Mobile does have an option to determine whether the selected network is a hidden network or not
I have a Treo Pro and can't get it to connect to my home WiFi which is using WPA2-PSK and the SSID is Hidden. The issue is with it being hidden because when I go into the linksys settings and make it visible it can connect, but as soon as I make the network name hidden it can't connect.
BTW. My HP iPaq has no issue connecting to it hidden.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
wpa2-AES is a lot better
but unless somebody is really out to get you psk should be secure enough to broadcast ssid
Even if your network isn't broadcasting its SSID wireless scanners can still pick it up. If a person is determined enough to brute force your passkey then they will most certainly be able to use NetStumbler.
