A Polish priest asks the owner of a Wi-Fi network called "Lucyfer" to choose a different SSID, explaining that devices inside his church will detect it and try to connect to it.
In a letter to the owner, the priest in the Polish village of Magdalenka says that the wireless router with the disputed name, is installed in a house right next to the church, so the router's signal is strong enough that the network Wi-Fi to cover the area of the church.
The priest explains that the name of the network could be offensive to the guests, since their devices will detect the network, even when they are inside the church.
The letter, which posted on Twitter and it went viral this weekend, it was sent on December 14th and it is not known if the owner of the router has already agreed and renamed his network. The priest still offered technique help in configuring another SSID for the Wi-Fi, noting that he hopes the whole matter will be resolved amicably.
At the bottom of the letter are also several signatures, which probably belong to church members who support the priest in his attempt to change the name of the Wi-Fi.
It goes without saying that the Wi-Fi owner knows how to change the SSID and the name Lucyfer (hell) is probably deliberately chosen to be vindictive to church members.
Η choice Funny names of Wi-Fi networks have been in vogue for a long time. So much so that even one simple relevant Google search returns large lists of corresponding names that have already been used around the world. For example, "FBI Surveillance Van" is one of the most common Wi-Fi SSIDs, along with "I Believe Wi Can Fi" and "Pretty Fly for Wi-Fi".
