WN3100RP error disabling SSID broadcasting
Hi all, I've recently purchased a WN3100RP and it works fine.. I want to disabling SSID broadcasting, but then I can't connect to it with my laptop (win 8.1). If I activate SSID broadcasting, I connect without any problem. This problem is only with the laptop, I can connect it with my phone and tablet. Any ideas to fix it?

Hi log-out,
In order to connect to a disabled SSID, you will need to manually create a network profile. Listed below are instructions from http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22144
1. On the Desktop screen, right-click the Wireless Icon located on the lower right hand corner of the screen, and select Open Network and Sharing Center
2. Select on Set up a new connection or network and then click on Next
3. Select on Manually connect to a wireless network and then click on Next
4. Manually enter the required credentials for the wireless network you are trying to add, then click on Next
5. You will get a confirmation that the profile is successfully added
Let us know if you need further assistance.
Regards,
NhanN

Hi nhann,
I've created manually the profile, but my laptop says that it can't connect the the network. If I enable againt the SSID broadcasting, it connects successfully.
