What issues does an invisible (or SSID unknown) network cause for other

A tad longer to connect, perhaps some lag time..

Is you router set for strong encryption?

which is an older technology"

Seems like WPA plus a strong password would handle just about anything
except perhaps a hacker army. The installer who set up my router recently
also told me to use passwords with a space or two in them which apparently
makes them much harder to figure out.
