連接隱藏的無線網路

無線網路是能夠設為「隱藏」的，一旦隱藏後便無法在網路列表中看見該無線網路。要連接隱藏的無線網路：

  1. 開啟頂端列右上角的「系統選單」。

  2. Select the arrow of Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi section of the menu will expand.

  3. Click All Networks.

  4. 按下視窗右上角，標題列右側的選單按鈕並選擇「連接隱藏的網路…」。

  5. In the window that appears, select a previously-connected hidden network using the Connection drop-down list, or New for a new one.

  6. For a new connection, type the network name and choose the type of wireless security from the Wi-Fi security drop-down list.

  7. 輸入密碼或是其他安全性資訊。

  8. 按下「連接」。

You may have to check the settings of the wireless access point or router to see what the network name is. If you don’t have the network name (SSID), you can use the BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier, the access point’s MAC address), which looks something like 02:00:01:02:03:04 and can usually be found on the underside of the access point.

You should also check the security settings for the wireless access point. Look for terms like WEP and WPA.

You may think that hiding your wireless network will improve security by preventing people who don’t know about it from connecting. In practice, this is not the case; the network is slightly harder to find but it is still detectable.
