Google router geolocation Anonymous 2016-09-08 16:03:03 Post No. [Report]
I've changed my router name appending _nomap to the end, apparently this opts you out of the Googlemaps geolocation service. But when they do that driving around shit what's to stop them recording the new name of my router and its location without me knowing?

Tech heads please respond, ta in advance.

Nothing. Hell any random person can drive around and get your router name and location.

Does that mean if I stop broadcasting my SSID I go totally off the grid?

that might stop google and other randoms from mapping your AP, but it does nothing against people looking to crack networks
