What's your SSID?

I have two SSID's.

1. Legend - SSID broadcast off, WEP encryption, MAC filtering ON. Running through to 192.168.1.0/27 @ 54Mbps.
2. Overvolt - SSID broadcast on, WEP encryption, MAC filtering OFF. Running through to 192.168.0.0/27 @ 5.5Mbps.

Second network also has a honey pot set up for the occasional person who decides to stroll onto my public network. It's running a keylogger and packet sniffer.

mdjthmsx01-mesh

The first one is my main network running on a WRT54GS w/ DD-WRT, WPA/WPA2. The name was derived by using my initials, my wife's initials, our home and the 01 I have no idea why I put it on. :)

The 2nd one is my test mesh network from open-mesh.com. I use this network for testing new firmware releases before I release them to my production network. It's WPA only.

I change my ssid quite often and making it something insulting to the neighbor next door. He can't figure out who keeps doing it but I get a kick out of him telling me about it when he sees them. Like "JimmyStinks" or "VWjunk"...etc.... keeps it interesting. It's all light humor. We are good friends actually.

lol

Right now it's "how" using wpa2. Getting a new wireless router tomorrow when the FiOS guy comes to do the install, so not sure what I'll name that just yet.

I stick mostly with wired because large file transfers take to long over wireless. But my one AP is:

"Bluebox": WPA2, broadcast off, MAC filtering off

Also running DD-WRT, stock firmware was lacking the capability I needed and I didn't want to buy a $500+ router.

I've got mostly wired as well, running throughout the house, one ethernet cable where every phone jack is ^.^ but I still have wifi as well.


Tapatalk. Samsung Moment. Yep.
