After changing your Wifi network name and Wifi password, another step to level up your home Wifi security is by hiding your Wifi network name. When you hide the Wifi network name, no one can find it unless they know exactly the network name. Hence, this will reduce the risk of people trying to connect or hack your home Wifi network.
Basically, only people who know the exact Wifi network name can find your Wifi and connect to it. It means you have to manually enter the network name on any new devices that wanted connect to your Wifi network. Sounds better right?
