Yeah, pretty much. It is virtually pointless in hiding your SSID as it's still obtainable anyway. Anyone that can't work out how to get your SSID isn't gonna be a threat. It can, instead, like __spc__ says be beneficial, as it means that your neighbours will be able to see if you're using the same channel and change it accordingly.

Ah, sorry, mate... I thought you were looking to change your router's IP.
I'm not aware of how to do this, but maybe one the ntl techs here will know for sure.
