I came across something a few days ago that I hadn't actually seen before and I'm wondering if someone can provide some insight.

First off, I haven't googled it or tried to research it and I'm sure it will make sense, but I'm asking here anyways.

There are a couple Wifi networks where I work that only show up on our company computers. When I bring out my phone it doesn't detect any networks at all, but I  SHAREit will have roughly three networks available on my work laptop.

I'm curious how this is done. My experience Appvn  with Wifi has been that you either have the SSID advertised or hidden, but the networks show up for everyone. How is there a network that only shows up on certain devices? How does it work?

Hi,

There are many possible causes that some terminals cannot detect Wi-Fi signals.

Common causes:
1. The Wi-Fi signal is weak.
2. The terminal is incompatible with the 802.11 protocol used by the AP/router, for example, 802.11ax (WiFi6) used by the AP, but the terminal does not support the 802.11ax protocol. Or the terminal doesn't support the  frequency band /channel configured by the AP.
3. A security policy mechanism for a radio frequency signal, such as WEP, WPA/WPA2, and WAPI, may be set on the AP/router. In this case, if the terminal does not support the security policy, the signal transmitted by the AP cannot be parsed.
