Hello All,

how do I hide my network so that it's  not seen?

Well it certainly isn't more secure. Maybe only to a roving neighbor's eye, but a determined hacker (war driver) with the right equipment can hack you whether it is broadcasting or not;

Your link claims to point to a howtogeek page, but actually points to an unrelated appuals.com page.

 

Much better!
