What is a drawback from "hiding" your SSID?
1 answer
One drawback of hiding your SSID (Service Set Identifier) is that it can make it more difficult for devices to connect to your wireless network. Normally, when your SSID is broadcasted, devices can easily detect and connect to the network. However, when the SSID is hidden, devices need to manually enter the network name and password to connect. This can be problematic for guests or devices that do not have prior knowledge of the network name and password. Additionally, some devices may have difficulty or may not be able to connect to a hidden SSID at all, thus limiting the compatibility and usability of your network.
