i think all it does is not broadcasting the SSID of the network, still the signal can be seen.
this is just an assumption of someone who doesn't know much shit about wlan.

It might keep you off of a passive hackers radar so technically it is a little more secure but really no. please stop saying meme

You felled for the memes aren't memes meme.

No, it does not do one single thing. If anything it makes you more of a target.

No amount of ssid hiding or stupid mac whitelisting or anything will protect you.

The ONLY solution is to use a good password and not have wps enable. End of story.

Will not wearing a name tag on your forehead make you invisible?

I understand basic etymology and that language changes in general but when you start to replace more detailed explanations with very general phrases it is similar to just saying "fuck" instead of describing how you are feeling and what you are thinking it damages your ability to communicate which is already shoddy as it is through text and pictures only on this website.
