How do you connect to wifi not broadcasting?

[youmansk]

I cannot find a network conf file to edit the wireless profiles. Does anyone know how to connect to a access point that is not broadcasting when you know the security and essid needed?

It's been a while since I set my N800 up for my home network, but try:

1. Open the Control Panel and select "Connectivity".
2. In the Connectivity window, tap the "Connections" button.
3. In the Connections window, tap the "New" button.
4. In the Connections Setup window, tap the "Next" button.
5. Give the connection a name and choose type "WLAN".
6. Tap the "Next" button.
7. When the "Scan for available WLAN networks?" dialog appears, tap "No".
8. Enter the network's SSID and select the appropriate security method.
9. Tap the "Next" button.
10. Enter the appropriate security keys, etc.
11. Tap the "Next" button.
12. Tap the "Finish" button. (Or the "Advanced" button, if you need to use a proxy server, etc.)

Is setting ''Default WEP key'' to "3'' in step 10 not what you need?
