    Okay, so I set up my router with WPA2-Personal with AES, and I set it to hide the SSID. Then on my w7 laptop I manually inputted all the information needed to connect. But after inputting the information, I'm not sure how to connect. It does not show up where all the other networks do, and when I go to the menu with all the configured networks, I do not see an option to connect.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Did you manually type in the SSID when you set up the Win 7 laptop?

    Did you click the box "Connect even if the network isn't broadcasting its name"
