Are you speaking about me, or about you, Vaskez? [img]smile.gif[/img]
I do worry about broadcasting the SSID, if for no other reason than doing so announces to the world that there's a network nearby, and if they spend enough time, they can crack into it.
In any case, the only APs where you can dial down the broadcasting power are the upper level ones... *not* the brands you find on the store shelves. So Linksys, Belkin, D-Link, Netgear... they all know just one signal strength, AFAIK.
And when you get up to the upper ranks, APs can also broadcast multiple SSIDs, thereby creating multiple networks. So you could put all your G clients on one WLAN and your B clients on another so the B clients don't slow down the G clients... at least in theory
