Linksys 802.11b
Authored by: dafuser on Dec 24, '02 01:06:58AM

I have turned off the SSID broadcast on my WAP11 (firmware 1.4i.1) without any problems. I'm running 10.2.3 on a 1Ghz G4 Powerbook. I did have to configure my Airport card to connect to a specific SSID. I had it configured to connect to the strongest signal, and it wouldn't connect to the WAP11 once I turned off the SSID broadcast.

When running MacStumbler on the PowerBook, or NetStumbler on my IBM T23 my WAP11 doesn't show up. I suppose you could find it with a RF sniffer, but the average guy doesn't keep one of those in his back pocket.
