WL-138G disconnects with hidden SSID

Increasing my wireless network security:
when I hide the SSID of my AP, the WL-138G disconnects every n-seconds :mad: . My WL-107g works fine with the same hidden SSID :eek: .

Any thoughts on this one?

Try different channel(s) (6 and up)

Well, I have the same issue, and when it happens I can't reconnect, even if I disable/enable the device.

There are slightly different opinions about security opposite wireless stabilty.
1. Wireless Network Troubleshooting Checklist. Read Turn on SSID Broadcast paragraph.
2. If I disable SSID (or ESSID) Broadcast ...

To skip password headache I use WEP Strong Key Generator This page is very good not only for WEP-keys, but for any long and impossible to remember passwords.

Good wireless networking
