I am currently broadcasting "5G_COVID_TEST_EMITTER" for the lulz. It is on a separate VLAN which simply terminates at the switch which generates the PoE for the AP, so despite it being open without a password, it generates no uplink

I've been using "Wu-Tang LAN" and "It hurts when IP" ever since I copied them from someone somewhere.

Something about "LAN of the free",
