[Scale-planning] [Tech] wifi SSID WAS Re: Signage

[Owen DeLong]

In the past, we named the Staff Wifi something that didn’t contain SCALE and wasn’t such an obvious target.

I suggest NSA_Van or similar as a good candidate. :P

Seriously, I think it used to be something like giraffe or simon or otherwise equally innocuous.

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.
