[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1100761, member: 145676"] But hiding the SSID does nothing for leaching. If that is all you do - it is extremely easy to find the SSID. As cwa said - You are 1 scanning program away from finding the name of the SSID. It becomes just a royal pain because when something disconnects you have to go through the reconnect sequence - typing in the SSID name - connect etc. By far - you are better off broadcasting SSID and enabling WPA2 with a strong password rather than trying to disable SSID for any reason.
