Is it best to hide or show a WI-FI SSID?

83 views 0 25/11/2020 Garry Wootton

The decision to show or hide your WiFi SSID is ultimately down to personal choice.

Leaving it visible will make it easier for clients to find and join the WIFI network, however hiding it does add a layer of obscurity that might dissuade unauthorised users from trying to access your network.

If the SSID is not in use it can be easily switched off in the Device Details Dashboard
