Nah, the upshot is that if you set your security to WPA2 with AES encryption and define a decent password, it’s impractically difficult to crack, and you don’t need to bother with the snake oil. MAC address filtering makes life harder for you for no additional security, and a hidden SSID similarly makes your life harder but actually means your network name can end up being broadcast even more widely than it would otherwise.
