I know it is possible to create a sofware AP in windows 7 using command prompt:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork ...
But is it possible to set such a network not to broadcast its SSID?
I realize that this does not gain any security - or may even make the system more secure, but I am not asking about security here. I want to know if it is possible, through the netsh command interface, to hide the SSID.
If my client wants to hide the SSID, then I will make them aware of security implications, but in the end it is their decision.
