hidden network on windows 10

Hi DavidMabra

where are you seeing this hidden network? is it in the list of available wireless networks?

the list of available wireless networks will show all networks within range, a hidden network is one that the network owner has decided not to broadcast the network name (SSID).

This is not on your computer or affecting it in any way, it just happens to be in range.

 

Change Wireless Network Connection Priority Order in Windows 10


Hello Denis,

The command in step 2 of Option Two should show your wireless networks listed in priority order. Top of the list is higher.

Why isn't connecting to a hidden wireless network supported? The reasoning behind why using a hidden SSID is a bad idea are poorly thought out. If somebody was savvy enough to hack your hidden, encrypted wireless network, nothing is going to stop them from
doing it to your broadcasted one. Having is a hidden wireless network, especially in an enterprise environment is less for security reasons and more to prevent the everyday user from accessing it. Where I work, we have separate wireless networks setup, one
for general user and contractor use and one for IT use. We hide the one for IT just so users don't hop on it and they log into the one setup for them.
