Don't do that, it'll counter-intuitively have the opposite effect: if you disable broadcasting the SSID on your router, then all the clients (phones, laptops, etc) which wish to connect to it have to broadcast that SSID when searching for nearby access points, instead of just asking all nearby access points for their SSID. That is: disabling broadcasting the SSID on the router means requiring broadcasting that same SSID from all the clients, even (and especially) when they're nowhere near that router.
