Tell them not to bother with these two, especially the latter. I worked on a customer's older Dell and the bundled wireless connection manager could see networks that didn't broadcast their SSID. Turning off the SSID doesn't do anything.
You could argue, not effectively mind you, that MAC address filtering offers some protection. I would stop using it as well because it just adds an extra step to the setup, with very little if any benefit.
I love the rest of there setup. Kudos. Did you do the grunt work configuring their network? Good job.
