what do you mean, they see my phone ssid broadcast because they are in the room next to me, and there like wtf is that. but your right, so even if i changed it to anything else theyd know it was me, i work in the IT dept here. but our admins are anal as **** and they lock down some websites. and i dont use my desktop work pc to connect to it, i use a laptop that is beside me to connect to it.
