    That’s useless, they won’t detect it. You need a backyard tesla coil and some infrasound cannons.

    Lol, just in case anyone actually has crazy neighbours who raise this issue and make a big deal of it, you can actually turn off advertising for your WiFi, making it not show up as a connectible network. It will still be visible from apps that scan for active channels, but you can make it much less obvious and that can be enough to get people to leave you alone.

      Just note, your phone will present that ‘hidden’ SSID to every hidden network it comes across, adding an extra method of tracking.

        Yep, not advertising is not the same as actually hiding the network. I can’t remember how but you can add something to the start or end of the SSID to prevent it being scanned by google etc, but I dont know how well that actually works.

    Wifi router? You mean when my wife tells me which route to take? Perhaps this is what they mean by wifi (WIFE) sickness!
