I haven't worked with these APs before. I wasn't able to find the info on their support site. Does anyone know if there is a setting to turn off and on the broadcasting of the SSID? I think this unit I have has a hardware problem because the wireless interface shows lots of FCS errors and they keep growing in a matter of seconds.

Anyway, even if I get this replaced, I was just wondering if there was a setting to turn off the SSID broadcast like on a LinkSys.

Thanks in advance.

There is, and please do not feel that this is trite, but it is clearly mentioned in the manual.

Also if the device is throwing those kinds of errors, I would agree with your assessment and if possible get a replacement. That is a good device and Proxim is a good vendor. As an aside are you happy now GolfNut. Seriously, call Proxim. They will sort out a replacement for you.

Thanks for the reply. I was in a rush so I just scanned the manual quickly. I had reset the device to factory defaults just to be sure broadcasting of the SSID wasn't disabled.

What I really needed was another opinion on the FCS errors, and you provided that. Thank you very much. :)
