Wireless networks have a unique name called the SSID, most routers broadcast this thus allowing crackers to access your network. This article will show you how to hide this.
I do recommend to ALWAYS make a note of your networks SSID before doing this. If you don't then it can be a pain in the arse trying to find it.
1. Access the routers control panel (refer to the manual if unsure).
2. Choose "Home Network" from the menu. (Name may be a variant of this depending on router).
3. Select 'WLAN' or similar option and click on 'configure' or similar.
4. Untick 'broadcast network name' or similar.
5. Click "Apply" or "Save" or whatever your router users.
Close control panel and you're done.
