Re: Questions about SSID broadcasting.

I assume this is a mis-type and you are not really recommending the so called "disable SSID broadcast" so may clueless router vendors include in their products?
I am, and so is most of this thread. I still believe that it cannot be the sole form of security, however it can be useful if used in conjunction with WPA2 , MAC Addr. filtering, and DHCP address limiting.

Actually besides you and one or two people new to wireless no one who understands how wireless works has recommend disabling SSID broadcast in this thread.

Is your WPA PSK that bad that you have to resort to tricks? How about you set a good WPS PSK and forget the remaining tricks.
