Title: Many Questions
Post by: SUPCUZ on June 11, 2014, 09:33:40 AM: Does the plug support using a non-broadcast SSID?

Also, I'm trying to use this at one of my factories. if the plug is set up by my manager locally, can there be addit'l users using their own devices set up remotely? I want him to set it up and me to be able to use it without going there after he does so.

It doesn't look like it will work properly if the SSID broadcast is disabled. It allows for a manual selection (non-WPS) but no way to enter in the SSID manually.

So basically you did a work around. Their is no step and fields to actually enter a SSID and PW? I don't see it in the manual but I thought maybe they just put the basic steps in there. Baffling how a networking company selling a security device would insist that the router broadcast SSID for it to set up. Seems unprofessional and mickey mouse.

Just because you don't broadcast ssid doesn't mean you can't be found.
