A typical router automatically broadcasts the name of a network, or SSID. However, there is usually an option to turn this setting off and hide the SSID. SSID hiding is the process of hiding the network name from being publicly broadcast. If an SSID is hidden via the network setup page, the name typically becomes null. When the network name becomes null, the SSID will not immediately pop up when searching for networks even though the network name is still available for use.

Poor placement of access points can result in numerous issues including low data rates, signal bleeding, bad roaming coverage, and even overspending on additional APs.
