Consider changing the wifi password #1259

Open Helen-8 opened 4 years ago

Helen-8 commented 4 years ago

This is just a suggestion and I know that it may well cause some difficulties but I think that we should at least consider changing the wifi password, for a few reasons:

MatthewCroughan commented 4 years ago

Me and @Helen-8 earlier discussed potential wifi names. Out of that came a few suggestions. But the one I favour is

SSID: DoEpicWifi Pass: DoEpicWifi

DoESsean commented 4 years ago

If, as seems likely, the easiest thing to do is to create a new 'guest' WiFi, can I suggest we just do that?

Would it be @MatthewCroughan or @johnmckerrell that would do it?

Password: Welcome

It's literally the most welcoming thing it could be, doesn't have any possible weird spellings, and doesn't have multiple capitals in the middle.

It’ll need to be me as it should be someone in the space to make sure the old ssid still works ok.

Consider yourself assigned.

@johnmckerrell just to note that marking an SSID as hidden means that some devices will not connect to it by default even if the network still exists as per the wifi spec

Ah.. thanks for that Jake. Definitely one to test then!

I was reading this thread earlier and tried to give some thought to what might be both acceptable, and if at all possible appealing, combination of WiFi Network Name & Password (at least in the context of a "public" / "guest" network - it crossed my mind separately that perhaps some of DoES administrative infrastructure etc. perhaps may benefit from being an purposefully segregated network which I believe would be a conversation for another thread).

This led me to the following:

Network Name (SSID): WelcomeToDoes Password: CreateInnovateRelate

I am not sure this is objectively (or subjectively) better (or worse) than any of the above suggestions, though I think it does convey some of the themes and values that - as a newcomer to the DoES Community - I have both experienced and observed.

I did consider two variants of the above password; the first was the same but all in lower case, the second added "L3" to the end such that it satisfied the requirement of having a number in the password: CreateInnovateRelateL3

I would welcome any thoughts and comments on this and certainly hope this may benefit rather than hinder the resolution of this topic :-)
