Should Ssid Be Hidden?

The primary benefit of hiding your SSID is that it reduces the likelihood of an attack by keeping hackers and nosy neighbors from even knowing your network is there. It makes your network less of a “low hanging fruit” by making it more difficult to find.

Is hiding your SSID a good idea?

Hiding an SSID does not provide true security because it only hides the network's name and not the actual network. ... The best way to protect one's network connection is to use methods of encryption, such as WPA/WPA2. These are security protocols with strong encryptions that are extremely difficult to crack.

Does hiding SSID affect performance?
