Re: broadcast network

Yes you're right, the normal 'drive-by' neighbour won't see your network on their own wireless PC's. To make it that much more difficult for your average 'nosey neighbour' I would also change the network name. For example, all Netgear routers use the default name 'NETGEAR' as the SSID in their routers. If you do decide to change, it would be easier for you to re-enable SSID Broadcast, change the name, re-connect your own PC then stop the broadcast again.
