I set my wireless router to disable SSID broadcast, but still appears as another network on my laptop?
that is not in my ipod though and still calls for the ssid when trying to connect to your computer. Now I have WPA2 and MAC address filtering enabled on the router. I wondered if there was a way prevent the network is shown as other main reason that I have the SSID hidden due to the fact that I am running the wireless router in my bedroom, which is not exactly allowed on campus, I know it's against the rules, but rooms that surround my networks have been around for a couple of months, so I'm assuming that the department IT does not look for criminals who often routers
An SSID hidding these days is like trying to hide their home. The system continues to transmit a signal or whether it would able to use it. In the early days in early access is an additional step that made some logical sense, those days are so far! Technology marches forward. Since WPA and WPA2 with a real password, it is almost impossible to leave the crack in the SSID makes your system easier to use and works well with almost all operating systems. WPA and WPA2 with MAC filtering should be more than enough to keep themselves safe, in fact, only WPA and a real password as well. ADD-even on campus, a search http://www.netstumbler.com/ using tools like NetStumbler the AP will continue to show – only with a blank SSID. His reality are nothing to hide a name. The SSID even when it is still there to spread its distribution not only outdoors is not a cloaking device. The access point is sending a signal that is sent the SSID to all customers. All packets sent back and forth between the AP and the client includes the period any SSID! So really not hidden all that never ends to show the public "." Therefore always be viewed by any detection system, even without an SSID, it only takes a small package for IGMP see the "hidden" SSID.
