I'm trying to find out what settings I would need to access a unsecured hotspot. I know this has been covered before, but I just recently got my Wifi card for my NX60 and now I can't find the thread. Any help would be appreciated.

I remember something about the ssid being ANY or something along those lines??????

If it's unsecured then type [ any ] (no brackets) in the Network ID (SSID) space ...

Connect mode = Infrastructure

Advanced Setup - IP Address = AUTO

- DNS Address = AUTO

- Power SaveMode = unchecked (i.e. NO TICK in the box ... )

I type my ISP's name into the SSID box, as they are the ones running the hotspots in Hong Kong. However, you should be fine with the above settings.

Good luck.
