Yeah, there are pros and cons about this... hiding it only really hides it on the Access Point beaconing, and it's still broadcast with other traffic. However, it does stop the casual neighbourly hacking that takes place. On the other hand, if you can't see your neighbours SSID, you're not gonna be aware that he's even got a WLAN configured (unless you know what tools to use) and could be wondering why you're having problems with your connection being unstable if you're sharing the same channel.

Provided you enter the same passphrase on your other devices as you configure on the router, then it'll work. Just check that all devices are compatible with the same type of encryption.
