WiFi

[=(V)=_The_Greek_]

So tonight my server ping was a ''perfect'' 110, but all of a sudden it went to over 200 and stayed there for a while. I left the game and checked my speed and it was lower than it should have been. I open my router's panel and checked the connected clients, but I didn't see anyone else connected but me. But I changed my password, just to be sure..and immediately everything went back to normal, both my internet speed and game ping...So, my questions:

1) Can someone connect to my wifi and somehow be able to hide his MAC address?
2) If I hide my SSID, will I be able to connect to the wifi from my tablet?

1)They can change MAC address and use a fake one most common is 11:22:33:44:55 or or 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee lol dont know if they can hide it? Would like to know that too.

2) If I hide my SSID, will I be able to connect to the wifi from my tablet?
Yes you will, there is an option on tables that says "Connect to a hidden network" or something like that, I think you need to use that option to access it? Dunno never tried this one.

that's when you run 5GHz wifi like me and its like lan speed

The PC is plugged in to the modem so there is no wireless connection to it. I have a tablet connected to my wifi, but all the updates/downloads are switched off, so there is no way it was downloading anything by itself.
