WmWifirouter doesn't broadcast ssid ?
 
Wmwifirouter works for bluetooth devices but doesn't broadcast a ssid for those that are using wifi and not bluetooth...
What's the deal here ?
I installed this Wmwifirouter from the latest kitchen...

Check your network settings, and look for the ssid broadcast or hidden option.

Now, I'm not using the newest version of WMWiFiRouter, but what I've noticed is that it's creating an Ad-Hoc (computer to computer) network, not an Infrastructure network (the type you get with a real wireless router). And, in my experience, Ad-Hoc networks don't usually broadcast SSIDs (I believe there has to be at least 2 devices connected to each other via the ad-hoc connection before it will broadcast). When I started using WMWiFiRouter, I had to manually set up the connection on the computer, telling it to connect to a non-broadcasting network and typed in the SSID manually. By default, WMWiFiRouter creates the ad-hoc connection with the same name as the app, but if you go into your WiFi settings on your phone, you can create your own ad-hoc, including WEP if you want it, and it will use that one.
