Recently renamed my wifi when i got the NetGear NightHawk

 

Kvasir (for the 5Ghz wireless)

TiggerBear (for the 2.4Ghz Wireless)

Guest (for my vlan 2.4Ghz wireless that i allow other folks to use)

 

WPA2 on all.

Guppy...

 

Funny story, i had an old linksys WRT54G  router which I gave to a friend, which had "guppy12345" on wpa2 as password... I then got a a dlink 801, uses the name and password as my old linksys. Now, every time I go to his place, i've only got one "guppy" in my WiFi connections, it automagically connects regardless of whether on linksys at mates place or dlink at my place (this happens with android, iOS and windows 8).

Sorry if I tried to make a point on how insecure wifi can be if you don't know what you are doing like me :laugh: (or just lazy :p), sunny side is, I don't have to have two "Guppy" in my phone, laptop, etc :p nor my friends :laugh: ...

 

 

Now... if we were to be technical, does you Wifi really have a name or would that be an SSID  :shifty:

 

 

 

really need to lay of espressos and regular coffee in teh morning :p

The device wont check anything else apart from the SSID and the password

 

if both match it will connect

 

I do that in my house i have two point with wireless both same SSID and Password so when i move to different parts of the house it reconnects :)

    • Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.17 changelog: All Platforms Updated Tor to 0.4.9.11 Updated NoScript to 13.6.25.1984 Build System / All Platforms Bug tor-browser-build#41821: Update gpg subkeys for boklm Bug tor-browser-build#41827: Update morgan's keychain with renewed key Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Very fitting name since AI users have air where there brains should be.
    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
