SSID Not broadcast
There are a couple secure wireless networks in range of my apartment configured to not broadcast their SSID. I wanted to setup my wireless access point to also not broadcast the SSID. The problem is, how do i tell which wireless access point is mine when i want to connect if none of them show the SSID?

Re: SSID Not broadcast
If you use WPA encryption, there's no reason not to broadcast your SSID. All it does is make your network harder for you to use, it doesn't provide any additional security.
