[QUOTE="Neo, post: 531470, member: 36256"] Your password is likely saved in your keychain so you don't have to enter your (presumably) long and difficult WPA key every time you want to connect. It is strange that the password you entered isn't displayed (you are talking about within System Prefs, right?). Try resetting your password in System Prefs. I am unfamiliar with the way you are connecting...to troubleshoot I'd try connecting to your network with a different computer to see if a password is requested. You don't need to hide your network. Once your WPA key is in place, that'll be all you need. If someone wants to find a network, hiding yours won't deter them. It will just end up inconveniencing you if you lose your connection, want to reconnect, and can't find it in your list because you didn't broadcast it. [/QUOTE]
