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 :)

Yeah I didn't know that, I figured it out, as pointed above, out of coincidence :p
