Broadcast SSID restriction with SBG?

[Phillip Kerman]

I can make it work without broadcasting the SSID... though, I can't seem to
make it work while I have WEP enabled. Well, I can make it work--but there
are many more dropouts.

You might search the archives and check the FAQ because some general
troubleshooting tips specific to this have come up before.

Thanks,
Phillip

I can tell you it's not a universal problem. The SSID on my wireless
network is not broadcast and I use 128 bit WEP along with MAC
restrictions. The only time I have problems is when I put the SBG in
an area with a weak signal.
