iPod Touch - Non Broadcasting Wifi Network

Hello,

Our Wifi network is unsecured and not broadcasting it's SSID.

My iPod can connect to the network, but every time I turn on the iPod I have to manually type in the Network Name to connect?

Is there someway to commit this to the iPods memory so that I don'T have to type it in each time?

Thanks for any help!

The reason I have a network like this is a long story - to make it short...

Nintendo DS doesn't support WPA
Xbox doesn't support WEP...
 
As an alternative, secure your network with MAC filtering, where you authenticate with the MAC address of your wireless cards. It is not 100% secure but neither are WEP and WPA! I've set it up that way when I have had similar issues.
 
Thanks, that will help with security - but what about the iPod not remembering the invisible network?
 
Well I was assuming if you did MAC filtering you could let it broadcast the ssid.
 
No problem! Hope it works out. Let us know if not and we'll look for another solution.
