Making the access point visible temporarily is not an option, because my employer controls the access point.

tell your employer that a hidden SSID wifi access point is utterly ******ed, it doesn't make things more secure, and can really screw up WPA of variou types.

let me guess, it's running WEP, and employer has used mac "authentication", to "improve" security, so it's actually got a pretense of security!
