I have two laptops connected wirelessly to the internet through a Netgear
WPN824 wireless router. The configuration has been set to disable SSID
broadcast, and has been working fine for months. Recently one of the laptops
lost it's wireless connection, so I hooked up the ethernet cable and enabled
SSID broadcast. I then disconnected the ethernet cable, waited awhile, and
the wireless connection returned. So I then disabled the SSID broadcast, and
everything seems to be back to normal and working wirelessly the way I want.

Is there some setting that I should change on the laptop to keep me from
losing the wireless connection while SSID broadcast is set to disabled?
This laptop is only used wirelessly at this access point.

Thanks,

Gary
