   Thank you for clarifying. That was my mistake.   
   Google sees the BSSID (i.e., MAC address) of the *wireless* LAN.   
   Unfortunately, we can't easily change *that* MAC address. (Sigh)   
      
   BTW, I have lots of apps that show the SSID/BSSID such as these   
   which I recommend to others in the order shown ...
