Wifi not working at work
Brought my new 770 to work today, but for some reason, it couldn't find any connections. A coworker said his laptop can see quite a few, and my 770 finds more wireless connections than my laptop when I'm home.
Any ideas why? I was in the same room as our router too, and I rebooted a few times just in case. |

Yes, they're probably all hidden. The Nokia, quite rightly, doesn't list hidden networks (where SSID is hidden) in a scan, whereas Windows machines do (bug or security risk in Windows? Possibly - Windows renders pointless the hidden SSID feature).
You need to manually create the hidden network in Control Pannel and mark the network as hidden. |

Hmmm I'll check that out. I don't think we actually hid our SSID though.
No wait a minute... my coworker runs Ubuntu on his laptop, so it wouldn't be a Windows seeing-hidden-SSID's thing. |

It turns out I can see the router and other routers too when I'm down the hall, but I can't see any routers when I'm sitting in my office right beside the router...
