|
Users can more easily roam from one WLAN to another.
|
|
|
The SSID can easily be discovered, even when it is not contained in beacon frames, because it still is transmitted in other management frames sent by the AP.
|
|
|
Turning off the SSID broadcast may prevent users from being able to freely roam from one AP coverage area to another.
|

Detailed explanation-1: -Using the PSK as specified in WPA2-Personal is the recommended WLAN authentication method when securing a home WLAN.
Detailed explanation-2: -The SSID can easily be discovered, even when it is not contained in beacon frames, because it still is transmitted in other management frames sent by the AP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) used to be the standard form of encryption, but it’s no longer secure, because computing power has improved and hackers can now crack it easily. WEP security encrypts with a static key-one of the biggest reasons it’s no longer considered secure.
Detailed explanation-4: -WEP initially used a 64-bit key with the RC4 stream encryption algorithm to encrypt data transmitted wirelessly.
