• How can I NOT display my neighbors WiFi network

    From Gelato@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 29 20:20:09 2024
    How can I NOT display my neighbors WiFi network?

    I want a way not to display all those nearby networks that I would never connect to because they're all my nearby apartment neighbor's networks.

    However, I'd still like to know if a different network is available, like
    in a store or my doctor's office clinic. Is there a setting I'm missing?

    Such a feature could exist: do not list unknown SSIDs, or do not list a
    certain list of SSIDs.

    But it could backfire: you try to connect to a WiFi, and you don't see
    it listed, not remembering that you told it previously to hide itself.

    If the OP has previously connected to one of them, then that will be in
    his list of choices. In that case he can tell his phone to ignore it.

    Can you say *how* this can be set?

    I don't see any such functionality on my phone (Samsung Galaxy A51
    Android 13).

    I can only 'Forget' networks which I connected to at some time, but
    that only means I lose the credentials (password, etc.), not that
    they're not visible anymore.

    So at the moment, I see my neighbours' networks and the only thing I
    can do is (try to) connect to them, not make them invisible.

    It seems yet another 'Arlen' type of strange 'need', but AFAICT,
    'Gelato' isn't 'Arlen'.

    Anyway, AFAIC, it's a non-problem, because if he doesn't want to see
    his nearby apartment neighbor's networks, just don't look at them!

    I don't see my neighbours' networks, unless I specifically *look*for
    them. When *outside* - his "store or my doctor's office clinic" examples
    - just *do* look for networks and he will see the networks he wants to
    see and will *not* see the networks he doesn't want to see, because
    they'll be out of range.

    Elementary, dear Watson!

    It could be that he's at one time logged into one. If so his phone might
    try again if his top-of-the-list one isn't available.
    That's why I advised ignoring (your synonymous "forgetting").

    Then he doesn't deny being Arlen, which indicates he might be Arlen.
