Comment on Why lost phones keep pointing at Atlanta couple’s home

Comments

I see a couple workarounds to their problem.

1. They could stop broadcasting their network's SSID.

2. They could change their SSID and spoof a different MAC address every day. Their ISP sent them a new router, but I imagine that will be sucked up into the databases quickly and the same problem will happen.

3. They could put routers in the surrounding homes so their home is never the one selected.
