Re: Disable SSID broadcast, lose WIFI Connection?

Both phones have factory settings, are revision 03, have PRL 60666 (not that this matters!), and one of them was just hard-reset minutes ago.

Thoughts? Ideas? A quick search of this indicates people may be switching from WPA2 to WEP... I have not tried this yet.
i had my TP2 set up and tried to tether an Evo to it and the evo won't see my phone but an ipad will... maybe this is why?

i won't be able to try it again for a few days. i also have problems with connecting an evo to anything wifi - it only sees very limited devices.
