Disabling the SSID Broadcast on Wi-Fi router

In the Wi-Fi networking, the wireless access point or router have a habit of broadcasting the network name (SSID) over the air at regular periods. This unique feature was conceptualized for all the businesses and mobile hotspots wherein the Wi-Fi clients may have to roam in and out of range. In the home network, this type of roaming feature is absolutely unnecessary, as it will increase the potential of someone trying to access your home network, thus posing a security risk. Most of the times, Wi-Fi access points will allow the SSID broadcast feature that will be disabled by the administrator.
