Synthead@lemmy.world kindly commented that wifi network names of you and your neighbour can be used to locate your address, so please be aware to avoid betraying your privacy. Peace!
My 5gHz is “Hot Signals in Your Area.” My 2.4gHz is “Mediocre Signals in Your Area.”
But technically the signal strength of 2.4 goes farther than 5, so this one hurts my brain. Perhaps because when I think mediocre signals… I think mediocre signal strength. 🤷🏽♀️
Speed over strength. It doesn’t need to go further, just faster.
Oh, behave.
Should be “Old Signals in Your Area”
So maybe more like “Hot Signals Near You” and “Mediocre Signals In Your Area” to signal the difference in distance
It hurts when IP
8Hz WAN IP
Hahaha regional dialect!
I use 17Hz WAN IP
FTFY: It hertz when IP
It confuses the hell out of Macs and some Linux stuff refuses to connect.
I had Zoidberg “(\/)(,;;,)(\/)” for awhile. And, yeah, not all devices liked that.
I like you
Elaborate on the “confuses the hell out of macs” statement please.
At least on the wife’s Mac it sometimes sees it fine but sometimes refuses to connect or even see it
That’s all WiFi on a Mac.
Source: have a Mac.
Interesting my neighbor is a network engineer and has a Mac for work, I think I might set up another SSID with this to see his reaction.
Omg I love it
Saw a 5Ghz one called “COVID Vaccine”
I called my 5Ghz “Virus Distribution Centre”
Mines been named “WiFiArtThouRomeo” for, like, 20 years. Don’t know if it’s funny, but I think it’s cute. 
Our neighbors grow weed, so my brother set one up as DEA Surveillance Van.
When we moved into our new place there was, “FBI Surveillance Van 1” and a “…2”!
Mine is named Connecting… My guest network is Reconnecting…
Mine is “Searching…”
Had one named “FBI Surveillance Van #3”. I know, not so creative even 10-years ago, but read on.
Guy at the end of the street sold weed. He was telling my neighbor to be on the lookout, there was an FBI van cruising around. Being at the end of the street, my signal faded in and out like it was moving. Dude was freaked the fuck out.
When I use my phone hotspot it is named RCMP Surveillance Horse #69
LOL, you’re even more country-fried than I am! Maybe I should name my mobile spot, “Fish & Wildlife #23”.
I had one with my countrys version of the “Van”. Then ubiquity had a zero day exploit become public knowledge back then and someone renamed the SSID “NotThePolice”. Didn’t do anything else. Just that.

Damn you, I snorted a bit in public.
Oh no! I’m so sorry :(
Visited a CeX store.
Their locked, employee-only Wi-Fi: Protected CeX
Their open public WiFi: Unprotected CeX
Glad they’re keeping it safe at work.
RCMP SURVEILLANCE MOOSE #2091
This inspired my “CSIS Surveillance Goose #247”
The craziest part is that you live in Florida.
Mine is ‘the LAN before time’
I set my dads as LAN Down Under
The Promised LAN
Guest and private networks respectively: This LAN is your LAN. This LAN is my LAN.
still rocking 802.11b?
Mine is “GetOffMyLAN”. Then one of my neighbors changed theirs to “GetOffMyLan69”. I’m not even mad.
Reminds me of when our street had an Area 51, new neighbours moved in and immediately set up Ayy Lmao.
