Hide or Broadcast the SSID for a WiFi Network

By default, a WiFi network (SSID or VAP) broadcasts its network name (also referred to as the SSID) so
that WiFi clients can detect the SSID in their scanned network lists. For additional security, you can turn off
the SSID broadcast and hide the SSID so that users must know the SSID to be able to join the WiFi network.
