I have my laptop moving back and forth between a network with hidden SSID and a network that is visible. The problem is as soon as I leave my hidden network I can't get back on it.
Is there anyway to set your computer so when it reenters the range of the Hidden SSID it will automatically connect to it?
Thanks

Find the wireless network properties for your wi-fi card.

Start at the Control Panel and browse from there till you find it.

Make sure the "Connect automatically when in range"

and "connect even if the network is not broadcasting it's name (SSID).

Click ok and or apply till all network windows are closed.

You may have to restart but I don't think so.

After this it should connect any time you are in range.

The point of a hidden SSID is to prevent the router from broadcasting the network. If the router isn't broadcasting the network the computer doesn't know it is available to connect to. With this in mind I believe that you have to manually reconnect to the hidden network.

Sorry no technique to allow them to connect with router and to no longer internet. you will could desire to favourite your router for a comfortable connection with the help of installation the encryption and password look after the relationship and then they are going to no longer be geared up to place it to apply. desire it incredibly is helping
