I was looking at my router (http://192.168.2.254/) and I see that I can "Hide SSID" but what does it mean, and I do this, how can I connect with the router when I lose connection, same as now and is it safer?

Supposed to be safer. To connect you have to input the SSID of the network you want to connect to so don't make it too hard to remember.

Hide SSID hides the network name your Wireless Router shows when you or someone else is trying to connect to it. Supposedly, it is safer, but 99% of the networks out there don't do it anymore, since anyone with a laptop and free time can find your network and its SSID.
