HIDE YOUR WIFI NETWORK & PREVENT IT FROM BEING SEEN

HOW TO HIDE YOUR ROUTER'S SSID OR NETWORK NAME

 

 The ssid-service set identifier of a router is the name that it broadcasts to identify itself. This feature you have already use if you have ever connected to a wireless router or network,and it helps user to separate the diffrent signals.

For example you visit any shop with free wifi,you usually know the right network to connect to because it is labeled with the shop’s name.

When you turn off SSID broadcast, others won’t be able to pick up the broadcast of your wireless network and they won’t know to whom the network belongs to.

NOTE:- Hiding your SSID won’t hide your wi-fi network from someone using a wifi network scanner.  Anyone who is going to try and crack a wireless network will be using one of those anyway.
