i've just created an invisible SSID on my Linksys router. how do i set up my mac to automatically connect to it though? i don't want to have to enter the name and pw each time i want to connect.
 
It should automatically connect after you put in the SSID and password the first time. Make sure you tell it to connect to the network in the future. 😉
 
As long as the Mac is set to connect to preferred networks, it will remember the network and always try to connect to it.

If its not joining it, then remove the preferred network in system preferences, restart and join the network again. I had this problem with mine, and that is what fixed it.
