Explanation

Two measures work together here: (1) Disabling SSID broadcast hides the network name from passive scans, making it invisible to casual neighbors scanning for Wi-Fi networks. (2) Configuring wireless encryption (e.g., WPA2/WPA3) ensures that even if someone discovers the network, they cannot connect without the correct credentials. Wi-Fi channel selection (1, 7, or 11) affects interference, not security. Enabling DHCP provides IP addresses but does not restrict who can connect.
