Hiding the SSID does nothing other than waste your time setting it up.

Finding Hidden SSIDs Is a Trivial Task

It’s extremely easy to find the ID for a “hidden” network—all you have to do is use a utility like inSSIDer, NetStumbler, or Kismet to scan the network for a short while to show all of the current networks out there. It’s really that simple, and there’s plenty of other tools that do the same job — many of which are even free.

I recently bought a device that can shut down any 2G WiFi network. It will also list all available SSIDs, even hidden SSIDs. Changed my SSID to hidden and was still able to knock it offline.

Setting your router to only allow certain MAC addresses is also a waste of time. MAC addresses can be spoofed.
