<p>Avoid using hidden APs (i.e. APs not broadcasting their SSID) since all
|
||||
known hidden SSIDs end up being broadcast as part of scanning for networks to
|
||||
find them again. Hidden APs are only hidden when not devices are connected and
|
||||
it makes little sense as a privacy feature, especially for a non-mobile AP. It
|

reduces your privacy rather than increasing it. SSIDs are not broadcast for
|
||||
standard non-hidden APs. If you need to use a hidden AP, make sure to delete
|

the saved network afterwards.</p>
