@ewen@social.ewenbell.com OpenWrt makes setting up an alternative SSID trivially easy; there is really no reason *not* to do it. (And little reason not to run OpenWrt, but that's a separate story...)

@corbet@social.kernel.org No no no no no and no. None of this is trivial to 99% of humanity. PLEEEEEEEASE see this from the perspective of regular humans!

@corbet@social.kernel.org @ewen@social.ewenbell.com Alternative SSID is not the same as alternative VLAN, and setting up DHCP and routing for said VLAN as well as being able to set rules to firewall it save for certain ports and... Even in any open WRT/related platform this isn't trivial. Multiple SSID names to the same network is trivial, multiple networks is not.
