Which router configuration change will stop the wireless access point from openly advertising its network name (SSID) to nearby clients?
Implement MAC address whitelisting
Set a strong wireless passphrase
Enable the router's firewall protection
Disable SSID broadcast (network-name broadcasting)
Disabling SSID (network-name) broadcast removes the network from the list of visible Wi-Fi networks during a standard scan. While attackers can still discover the hidden SSID with sniffing tools, turning the broadcast off reduces casual discovery and opportunistic connection attempts. Other measures such as strong encryption and authentication are still required for real security.
