Since you are new, I'll tell you to post in the right section. This is a networking tips and tricks, else if you post here you'll never get a response since barely anyone browse here.
You can disable SSID broadcast and put up MAC address filtering.
Here's a site that will explain things a bit more http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/wireless_secure.htm
Disabling SSID broadcast doesn't mean it's competely gone, the SSID still travel between the client and the access point/router. Disabling it just make it stop announcing the name of the network all the time.
