We had the same kind of "hidden" router at my previous employer, as we had a team of ~10 developers who needed a lot of different access to different servers and between eachother. We put the name of another tenant in the office building as the SSID :).
After about a year the network through that router started to slow down. When we checked why we realized that we had more than 40 wifi clients, as other (non-dev) teams learned about the network through the grapevine and actually the new employees from sales (the neighboring office) were told to connect to that network directly - as the process to connect to the "normal" network was too much of a hassle.

- iaw 7y agoI hope it never needs to be reset.
- geggam 7y agoLOL reminds me of a very old bash.org http://www.bash.org/?5273 http://www.bash.org/?5273
- pickle-wizard 7y agoThat reminds me about the story of a University that an old DEC VAX that got walled up during a remodel. Machine kept running and no one notice. A decade later another remodel came along and they tore down the wall to find the machine just happily running.
- antod 7y agoI remember an old Netware version of that story.
- pickle-wizard 7y agoYou know, maybe it was Netware. My memory has some bitrot in it after all these years.
