yep, you're right. I figured out how to enable it....but its worthless. I went downstairs and lost connection. I was on WPA - TKIP and have 3 laptops and configured them all. They were all at low signal, and 24mbps. As soon as I walked outside with one of the laptops, signal was dead. So i just disabled broadcast of SSID and shut off encryption. And my pc's are now back to normal at full signal. There are 4-5 networks that come up when i do a scan, all with broadcasted SSID's...

If someone wants to hack me, I'll take the chance.

Its ignorant people like me that wont compromise distance for security
