It should work with most ISP's with a few exceptions. Hathway is one of the exceptions.
The reason for that is because Hathway requires you to login to their server before your machine gets access to the internet. So 8.8.8.8 is outside their network, since this server belongs to Google and in on their network and thus will not work with Hathway or other such similar ISPs. A WIFI password is an additional measure of security. And for other's hiding the SSID (WIFI network name) it yet an additional layer of security you can add to prevent people from joining the network.

Also, is MAC filtering enough security, and in what circumstances will it not be enough? (To prevent others from using your network). Thank you.
