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 ...              Wifi Analyzer, by farproc       https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer              WiFi SNR, by Javali Inc.       https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.javali.wifisnr              inSSIDer, by MetaGeek       https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metageek.inSSIDer              FRITZ!App WLAN, by AVM GmbH       https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.avm.android.wlanapp              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
