    I am having an issue with connecting a 3000/N100 to a 802.11g home router that has the SSID transmission turned off. When I seach for the router the computer see that it exists, but due to no SSID, it says that it can not complete the connection. My HP laptop will prompt me for the SSID and then connect, but not the N100!

    Anyone know of a way to force connect by entering te SSID?

    If I remember correctly, you need to go into the Access Connections software and manually set it up.

    Not sure if this is your issue, but there is a manual switch on the front edge of the machine. It is located slightly left of center on the front edge of the machine. I mistakenly flipped the switch off once and could not connect to my wireless and did not realize that a manual switch existed.
