Limitations
Hidden SSIDs
Wi-Fi networks with hidden SSIDs (i.e., the network name is not broadcast) cannot
be connected to via the Easy Wi-Fi access point. If you need to use a network with
a hidden SSID, you will need to manually add that network as a new access point
and then manually select it when prompted to select an access point. You can add a
hidden SSID network as a new access point by going to Tools -> Settings ->
Connection -> Access points -> Options -> New access point.
CA certificates
In order to enhance your security at public hotspots, Easy Wi-Fi makes sure a
hotspot is authentic before automatically logging you in. This prevents you from
being connected to phony hotspots that have been setup to steal your username,
password and other personal data.
In order to check the authenticity of a hotspot, Easy Wi-Fi examines a digital
certificate supplied by the hotspot and compares it with a list of trusted certificate
authority (CA) certificates. Your phone, however, may only have a limited set of
trusted CA certificates. If your phone does not have a required CA certificate, then
you will be prompted to accept the unknown certificate from the hotspot during the
login process. This may reduce your ability to safely use a wide variety of public
hotspots.
In order to improve your security you can download and install a larger collection of
trusted CA certificates from www.devicescape.com/certs.
