Much like trying to remove stiff old anaglypta wallpaper without a steamer tool to hand, using a computer with a poor Internet connection can turn into a bit of a nightmare. The odd thing is that it doesn't appear all the time in Windows' available network list.Īny ideas on 1) if it should be there 2) if not, how to get rid of it.Worrying about how to make WiFi faster is a modern preoccupation. Just my Windows 10 Desktop, Windows 10 Laptop and the Netgear WiFi Analyser Android App. It is not showing up on my Android phone or iPad.
So I figured the Hidden Network is actually coming from my Optus Sagemcom Modem/Router. In fact they are the same except for the last hex code 2.4G = a6, 5G = a7 and Hidden = a0. Investigating more the Hidden network had much the same MAC address as the 2.4 and 5G on my Sagemcom. Then I noticed the hidden network has also changed to 132. I didn't want to mess up a neighbours network, so I change the Sagemcom's 5G channel to 132 instead. So, I though that can't be good as they where the same signal strength and would likely interfere with each other. Don't know if that 2.5GE port is how it should be, but it is working just fine.Īfter some checking I notice the two 5G channels on the Sagemcom and the Hidden channel were the same (136). The router is connected to the Sagemcom via the same LAN port and the 2.5GE port on the ASUS ROG. Since then, I change the desktop's adapter to an ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter and a ASUS ROG GT-AX11000 Router. Until last week I had a Netgear D7800 Router attached to the Sagemcom via a LAN port on Sagemcon and a LAN port on the Netgear.ĭon't remember a hidden network showing up on my Windows 10 Desktop's network list while it had a TL-WDN3800 N600 Wireless Dual Band PCI Express Adapter. I have FFTC NBN with an Optus supplied Sagemcom Gateway 5366 TN Modem/Router. However, I don't believe that to be the case. I'll start with I am not 100% positive that this "new" Hidden network didn't exist before because I simply just did not notice it.
Hi, I'm fairly new to networking but not totally new to computing.
