One of our staff wanted to use it for a basement. Of course, no 802.1X support, but what was most disappointing was the fact that it won’t connect to a hidden SSID. That’s our PSK SSID. So, no luck at all with this device. We are making improvements to allow our users to self-provision these types of devices, but this is an indication that the road ahead will not get any easier.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Water Sensor by DLINK
Hector, I know its not great but we have had devices with the same limitations but with some of these devices we made the network visible for the initial connection and hid it again after the device was online the first time we were successful. These devices were able to reconnect to the hidden SSiD after the fact as long it was visible for the first connection. You ma want to give that a try.
