| Jul 3, 2013 at 21:19 | comment | added | user | Only peripherally related to the question, but one major reason for hiding certain SSIDs isn't related to security at all, but rather user convenience. For example, if you have a workplace where there is an internal network for employees and a publicly available guest network, there is little need for the internal network to be visible to everyone. By hiding that one, you make life easier on those who wish to use the guest network, since there is one less network to choose from. I run a setup like that at home even, for convenience and traffic isolation. (Both use different, strong PSKs.) | |
