Re: Hidden SSID

Its linksys's dualband.. im surprised it wouldnt have the -PSK part.. its not an old one.. hummm.. there is TSK.. but thats the same was wep.. which im not using wep but there is a key. none the less and your right about them coming in. 64 num/alpha would take them less then 2 hrs

WEP uses the same key every time you connect so hackers intercept pieces of the key then eventually assemble all the info until they get the hole key. I know you feel better when the network is "Hidden" but is it really? If it was nothing would ever find it. As far as I know WPA2 has not been hacked it is secure.
