legally, you dont want to do it. i have had experiences with seeing my SSID coming from a router that is not mine, and the nieghbor basically said effoff ill do what i want. in that case i did what i want as well.
- lxgr 4y agoWhat’s the problem with your neighbor using "your" SSID? It’s not like anybody can "own" an SSID name, and if you’re using WPA, the only effect would be a few milliseconds longer of initial connection time per device. Actively running a DoS against your neighbor might or might not be legal, but it sure is petty (and given the above, unnecessary).
