Re: wireless ssid broadcast
Unbroadcast SSID = "security through obscurity".

One thing you should do, is CHANGE the SSID, as a default SSID is often a sign of a totally insecure network, operating in "out of the box" router configuration - I'd suggest using a name that does not imply an invitation, nor give anything away.

Of course, you HAVE already changed/set the router admin password - yes?
