Turning off SSID is not valid security. There are lots of tools to see the network anyway. Use WAP security at least. I simply choose an SSID that won't attract people.

Correct, turning off the SSID broadcast ALONE is not good security. Turning off the SSID will only keep your network from being visible to other casual users and drive by's. Very common practice in the business world. Out of site is mostly out of mind.

The WAN port can't be in the same network as the LAN. That would never work. The WAN port has a DHCP client, the LAN a DHCP server for starters.
The WAN port is the input to the router, the LAN may or may not have a convenience switch, most do.

That would be understood. The point is that Rob is able to attach to his house network directly, not the case if it were a WIC card or DSL connection. You're splitting hairs and the intent is to keep the post simplistic.
