Wait, so we're supposed to turn off the beacons? But how will the hackers find my network then? That's no fun!

SSID broadcasts? Really? That's like hanging a 'Hack Me' sign on your network. Not cool, not cool at all.

MAC filtering? Sounds like a lot of work for a SOHO network. Gotta keep it simple, you know?

WPA encryption is definitely the way to go! Turning off SSID broadcasts seems a bit sketchy to me.
