DI-624 v2.75 firmware and SSID question

"Craig" hath wroth:

Ummm... We have associations, consortiums, strategic alliances, conglomerations and committees. These may sometimes act like street gangs, but professionals are referred to as something other than a gang.

Dunno. However, before you assume that the router has a problem, it might be that the web page has a long expire time and that your browser is reading from the browser cache instead of from the router.

Try forcing a page refresh with . Also try clearing the browser cache. You might also try a different web browser, or perhaps a different computah.

Also, I don't want to start yet another endless discussion on the relative merits of disabling SSID broadcasting, but methinks it's a waste of time and not very useful. What it does commonly do is have the neighbors shinny new wireless router land on your occupied channel because they can't see your broadcasts. |

Why are you so determined to disable SSID broadcast? Security?

SSID hiding: There is no such thing as "SSID hiding". You're only hiding SSID beaconing on the Access Point. There are 4 other mechanisms that also broadcast the SSID over the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrum. The 4 mechanisms are; probe requests, probe responses, association requests, and re-association requests. Essentially, youre talking about hiding 1 of 5 SSID broadcast mechanisms. Nothing is hidden and all you've achieved is cause problems for Wi-Fi roaming when a client jumps from AP to AP. Hidden SSIDs also makes wireless LANs less user friendly.
