[Scale-planning] wifi SSID WAS Re: Signage

[Zach Underwood]

This year we had 4 SSID, public 5ghz, public 2.4ghz, staff 5ghz, staff
2.4ghz. I think that we could drop the staff 2.4ghz and only use the the
staff 5ghz one since staff(noc and AV only) for the most part have newer
devices that support 5ghz. As for as hiding staff SSID that is a waste of
time, I dont think many, if any of the public was thinking they needed to
join to the staff network. At some point you cant fix stupid.

I think the biggest problem with SSID was the amount of non SCALE ssid
showing up, where this was the biggest problem was on the expo floor where
at any given time there was 20+ SSIDs.
