:How many home user's I've had to upgrade and discover that their router (if they have one) is default with SSID broadcast (older than 2 years without firmware upgrade this isn't a feature to turn off) on. They wonder why their connection is slow in the afternoon, evenings and weekends.
Uhm, there's nothing wrong with broadcasting your SSID. Any decent wireless utility is going to detect networks whether they're broadcasting an SSID or not (even the intel proset utility does). I keep SSID broadcasting on both of my access points because it's much easier to roam around the house and have my laptop automatically detect which AP is closer.
