The IT departments AP I believe is a Cisco. Don't know what model.
Mine is the original SMC 2655W.

IBM High Rate 128.

The IT Dept. AP is using 128 bit WEP. Mine is open with Mac address filtering. Wifistat is set to 128 bit with the
encryption key and SSID , which isn't being broadcast. On my AP I just have the SSID with encryption disabled. Is that what
you were asking?

The SSID is available. It just isn't being broadcast.
