I had to go on-line to find out what you meant by a "closed" network. Not broadcasting the essid does very little for security. My neighbor doesn't broadcast, but I can see his AP anyway if I put my interface in promiscous mode. As long as you use WPA with TKIP and a reasonably short period between key changes, no one will be able to collect enough packets to crack your password, particularly if the password is not in a dictionary and it has 10 or more characters init.
