Between the entire family's devices (phones, tablets, laptops, bluray players, apple tv, pcs, psps, etc) I have about 25 devices on the wifi. I have a Netgear WGR614v6 and have always disabled (unchecked SSID broadcast) and have used the wireless access control via the card list. I just added the new Slingbox 500 to all of this (initially broadcasting the SSID and disabling access control so that I can easily add the Slingbox's mac address). Everything works fine if I leave it that way, or if I add the access control. But as soon as I try to disable SSID broadcast again, I cannot connect to the Slingbox. I was wondering if this is just true of this device? Does anyone know if the Slingbox requires SSID broadcasting? I was just finding it hard to believe since even Apple TV does not require it to be broadcast....
