Hidden Network
This is probebly crazy, but I'll ask anyway. Is the Gen5 modem-wifi creating a hidden network? I've been noticing it every time that I turn on wifi on my Wondows 10 Surface Pro 3. When I unpl...
Yes the signal is coming from your HT2000w... You wont be able to connect to that signal, and the signal is disabled if you disable the Wifi on the modem.
It's kind of like the USB port on the back of the HT1100... It's there for "future use", but, we have no idea when or if that future will ever come. :)You'll pardon my "clueles banter", but tone is as tone does.
First question asked about hidden network. After thinking about it I asked 2 more questions.
I do not believe that Hughesnet is being transparent. I do not buy that they can do what they want and we have no choice.
When members ask specifically about the "Hidden Network" no explaination is given.
The "supposed experts" on this forum also have no answers as to the "hidden network". They chose to attack members wanting to know what is going on. WHY?
I'll just leave it at that.....
Thanks for the tips! I've used Macs for years and had never used the control or the option keys. I had no idea what they did.
I followed your instructions but the hidden network must be very well hidden by my Mac because it didn't appear on the list. I see the same networks as when I just click the wifi icon.
May have to click the Scan button, wait, and repeat until it shows. I think it just goes on periodically and you have to catch it at the right time.
They're watching!
OK, so, multple scans until Cthulhu popped in to tell me to quit it. No hidden network shows up, even though it shows up on the list of networks on my Windows machine. I guess the Mac is not picking it up.
I did click the Scan button, but only one time. I'll try scanning a few times to summon the malevolent hidden network. :) I understand after that there's no going back, and doom is certain to come. :)
