I can see the 'getwireless.net' SSID, but can't connect to the service, why?

Wireless Broadband Internet Service
Most likely our signal is strong enough, but the card in your computer isn't strong enough to connect back. We offer high power USB adaptors for desktops and PCMCIA adaptors for laptops. These adaptors are 200Mw adaptors and are 10 times more powerful than most common built-in wireless adaptors. We also offer high power wireless to ethernet bridges which allow you to connect your devices via ethernet instead of wireless.

Can I update to mSSID firmware but setup only one SSID connection?

Welcome to Compex Systems - Networks @ Work
If the existing AP is running v1.3x firmware, after updating to mSSID it will retain and continue to run the previous configuration. No reconfiguration is needed. No, if your firmware is v1.3x and higher, updating to mSSID firmware will retain all entries in the MAC table. Similarly, Per Node (control to isolate wireless station in AP) being part of Pseudo VLAN will also be lost.

Why might I need to change my SSID for AT&T Wi-Fi, and how can I do so?

AT&T Communications Inc. - AT&T Wi-Fi Support Section
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a unique code that tells a notebook computer which wireless network to connect to. AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Zones are configured to broadcast an SSID that allows a wireless adapter/card to detect and use the AT&T Wi-Fi wireless network. If you have a non-AT&T Wi-Fi SSID, you may not be able to connect to the AT&T Wi-Fi wireless network. This is because your wireless card will only listen to signals with the SSID that you have specified.
