I'm heading back to school and since the university has their own WiFi on campus, they forbid anyone to set up a personal wireless network. Since their WiFi blocks out almost every type of usage an average internet user would want to do (download, webcam, online gaming, sharing etc...) they say students can go through local ISP's to deliver faster and less limited internet. Last year I tried using a wireless router with my own ISP and everyone on campus immediately got an email saying that IT has detected a router set-up within residence and if it isn't removed completely within a week, they'll (without permission) come in and find it and remove it. Of course, that could just be a threat and unlikely, but it still got me nervous enough to return the wireless router and just go with a hard-wired one. Now, I'm heading back to school tomorrow and wanted to do the same thing, but I'm thinking about just disabling the SSID. Will this stop them from detecting my wireless internet network setup? Is there anything else I can do? I run both a PC and a Mac and am quite computer savvy, so if there's anything over complicated, I'll with no question give it a try. Let me know!!

If someone is really interested in connecting to your network they can still sniff the airwaves and pull down the data they need to crack into it. Not to say this isn't a good idea, as it probably discourages 99% of the people who would try and connect to your network.
