After researching the fact that turning off the SSID broadcast (aka hidden SSID, SSID cloaking) is against the standard, I feel that any time a checkbox is included to use a non-broadcasting SSID (at least on the APs), it should pop-up a warning that it's not a security feature, breaks the standard, and only causes issues. Real security is achieved with encryption, preferably WPA2-Enterprise such that the encryption keys are never stored on the client and a single user can be disabled in the event of a breach.
