Beaconing stops wireless signal

Hi.

We have a wireless network that people can connect to but one laptop
connects while it's beaconing and loses connection when we shut of the
beaconing. Other laptops are fine. Ideas? Router is True Mobile something
or other, not sure of the laptop make / card...

Thanks in advance!

Make sure the laptop wireless card has the latest drivers.

There are some wireless clients (and drivers) that absolutely insist
that it see the SSID of the access point or wireless router in order
to function. Turn off SSID broadcasting and the client will ignore
the access point. You might wanna check for wireless card driver
software updates on this particular laptop.

Also, I consider turning off SSID broadcasting to be a total waste of
effort and not very useful as a security measure.
