Re: Wireless Network won't work with SSID switched off
Some combinations just don't seem to handle it - I presume the client has the SSID - it may help to set it for the adapter, possibly to turn off the windows wizard mode altogether and apply all settings manually.

Apart from that, use a non-inviting, non-tempting SSID (the router name is not a great idea, as I now know that someone close to me has a belkin54g router), and apply WEP and MAC access control.

At least broadcasting SSID may help others to co-operate in channel allocation.
