My Android tablet (Asus TF300T) can't connect to my Wifi if I hide my SSID. That's pretty weak right there. If I set it all up connected, turn of Wifi on the pad, stop SSID broadcase, and turn Wifi back on on the pad, the pad can't connect. So I have to leave my SSID broadcast on, which is against my training.
Is this a feature of Android, or just a bad implementation in that device?
Disabling SSID broadcast is actually a violation of the 802.11 RFCs, which require that it be broadcast. Equipment that adheres strictly to those RFCs will refuse to connect to a hidden network. This is correct behavior.
