Re: Can One SSID Be More Secure Than Another?

Do you know what the purpose of the SSID is?
If your having problems with too many B/G units in the area, suggest using A wifi. If your concern is security simply use WPA/WPA2.

Right on brother...

Using a unique SSID for the home wireless network to aid in identifying and troubleshooting purposes and the use of WPA2/WPA with a long random key is the best security you can have for home users.

The rest is smoke and mirrors...

Personally I broadcast my unique wireless network SSID and use a 63-character random ASCII key and WPA-PSK (AES). My wireless network runs at full power 24/7 whether I am home or not on short term or long term travel. No unathorized intrusions here.

Same here. WPA2-PSK AES with a 63 character key.
