Join a hidden WiFi network on a Mac
After you install the adapter (see Set up your adapter with a Mac on page 8), you can
use the NETGEAR adapter software to connect the Mac to a hidden WiFi network.
A hidden network is a network that does not broadcast its SSID (WiFi network name).
If the network name is not displayed in the menu of the NETGEAR adapter software,
the network that you are trying to join is either not functioning or is hidden. To let the
Mac join a hidden network, you can use WPS (see Use WPS to join a WiFi network on a
Mac on page 9) or enter the hidden network’s information manually.
To enter the hidden network’s information manually, you must know the SSID, type of
security, and required information for the type of security (usually a WiFi password).
After the Mac joins the network, it saves the network connection information to a profile.
Both the NETGEAR adapter software and the Mac AirPort utility can use this profile. If
the network information does not change, the next time that you launch the NETGEAR
adapter software, the Mac connects automatically to the network that it joined previously.
To join a hidden WiFi network on a Mac:
1.
Click the NETGEAR adapter icon in your Mac’s menu bar.
A menu displays.
2.
Select Join Other Network.
A pop-up window opens.
3.
In the Network Name field, enter the WiFi network name (SSID).
4.
From the Security menu, select the type of security that is associated with the WiFi
network and enter the required information for that type of security:
None. The network is not secure and does not require a key or passphrase.
Open_System WEP. Enter the WiFi network password in the Password field.
Shared_Key WEP. Enter the WiFi network password in the Password field.
WPA_PSK TKIP. Enter the WiFi network password in the Password field.
WPA_PSK AES. Enter the WiFi network password in the Password field.
WPA2_PSK TKIP. Enter the WiFi network password in the Password field.
WPA2_PSK AES. Enter the WiFi network password in the Password field.
WPA Enterprise TKIP. Select an option from the 802.1x EAP menu, enter the
network user name in the User Name field, and either enter the WiFi network
password in the Password field or select certificate information from the CA
Certificate and Client Certificate menus.
