My neighbor’s ssid keeps switching from secured to unsecured. I want to bring it up to him out of concern. My question is why is it even happening? I’ve never seen an SSID do that.
Maybe he’s just testing something temporarily. Like something he bought is having trouble connecting, probably because he’s using the same SSID for 2.4 and 5 GHz, but the shitty IoT device can’t handle that. So he’s messing around, trying to get it to connect.
Unless he’s a good friend, I’d just ignore it. You make a comment to the typical person about his WiFi, and he’ll become super paranoid about why you even noticed.
Then we’ll get a post on this sub from him on how his “creepy neighbor” is hacking his hidden SSID and 60 key password. And now his IoT lightbulbs are now dimming on their own.
And so goes the flow of this sub.
