2021年10月7日 · However, with a hidden SSID, there's no way for a client to know it's in range of a configured network without actively trying to connect. Thus once you set your device to connect to a "hidden" network automatically, it will keep broadcasting "probe requests" with its SSID wherever you go.

2014年11月19日 · I've just noticed something very, very, strange this evening. I see a network with the name/SSID "Hidden network" virtually everywhere that I go. I want to know why I'm seeing this! Its a visible network, with a perfect signal strength, and is actually secured. Its not actually "hidden", because my machine shows its there.

2024年2月10日 · One thing you can try is to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi network manually. A hidden Wi-Fi network is one that does not broadcast its name (SSID) to nearby devices. To connect to a hidden network, you need to know its name and password. Here are the steps to do that on Windows 10: - Click the Wi-Fi icon on the lower-right corner of the taskbar.

2017年3月21日 · I just want to hide SSID (wifi adress that you can see on wifi list in your device ...) something like in bluetooth "mark as visible for other devices" but in this case i want to mark it as invisible :) got it ?

Automatically connecting to a network with a hidden SSID is a bad idea. Since your computer cannot passively listen for the SSID broadcast and automatically connect when it sees the SSID (which will not show in the beacon broadcast, since that is how hiding the SSID works), it has to actively send probe packets with the network's SSID, even if it is nowhere near the access …

@LPChip: one can "see a hidden ssid" in the sense that to see an SSID, there must be something transmitting. I assume the OP means he is using software that shows something transmitting on e.g. channel 6, but has no advertised SSID. –

Type the password used by the wireless network in Security type field. 8. If you don't want others to see the password you type, check the box that says "Hide characters". 9.

2017年6月23日 · All of our Windows 10 computers that use a Wi-Fi network adapter have been having problems automatically connecting to our Wi-Fi networks with hidden SSIDs. We have many locations, none of which are broadcasting the SSID. All of the profiles are setup to automatically connect. In the network settings, when you view known networks, they are listed.

2018年5月20日 · in modem/router or Router wireless settings, turn on SSID. SSID SETUP. Broadcast SSID "ON" reboot modem, restart all pc's. If you have a separate router connected to modem, then you will need a user and password to most likely access it. Look in your router manual or look online.

2020年10月11日 · What I think about this (I might be wrong): not broadcasting SSID is fine in itself for the AP. What is not fine is the fact that clients configured to use a hidden SSID have to blindly try to discover if it's present, thus uselessly sending probes. Hidden SSIDs should not be configured to be used automatically. –
