I just have some small question. I used to put really long complicated passwords for my Wifi network. I even used to hide the SSID of the network. Does it slow down the wifi performance? My Android devices once had problems connecting to the hidden network. So... my questions are...
- Does hiding the SSID and adding long password slow the Wifi connection?
- Does it give rise to other connection problems?
- Is it the cause for frequent connection drops?
My router is DIR-615 - e4 and I faced problems with a new Galaxy Tab 2 and my new HP laptop also have problems connecting occasionally.
What authentication level are you using for your wi-fi? If it's WEP, the length of the password is irrelevant because you may as well not bother. On WPA and WPA2, the password length shouldn't affect network speed. – None – 2012-07-17T06:19:01.850

@RandolphWest Will it cause problems if i set it to WPA2 Only? – THpubs – 2012-07-17T06:24:40.320
