Check the SSID setting in your router--that's what is being broadcast.

Try setting your router to not broadcast your SSID and see if you can
still scan the network.

Try turning off your router and see if you can still scan the network.

Try removing the space from your SSID and see if that makes a difference.

I'm not that familiar with Mac's but I think that there is a way to
create a computer to computer network, make sure that setting is
disabled.
