Neighbours and my WIFI

Hey!
Straight to point I got a new neighbour in my block of flat a few months ago and she asked for my wifi password to connect her console to so they could watch netflix.. i thought why not.. one other thing connected to it wont harm and she has just moved in.. it's her first home she hasn't had chance to set up her own yet. She then gets a new tv in the last few weeks and connects to my wifi but she has also connected her phone and her mates phone to it as well as they are picking up our google speakers on the network her mate joked they should play songs through my sons one in his room from their phones. So I have no idea how to change the password but would I be unreasonable to turn it off every night at 8PM? Considering we are in lockdown and she cant get her own during this time as they will need to come and connect it up. Previous tenant in that flat never had wifi either.

sorry wrong thread, not my day today!

CalleighDoodle · 22/04/2020 18:04

Taken me half an hour to read the thread. Last post was an hour ago. I wonder if anyone has recommended changing the password?

@ ProfessorSlocombe

Ref BT hotspots, In order for the neighbour to be able to access the op's bt broadband (which she doesn’t have), the neighbour would have to first have a bt broadband account herself (which she doesn’t have).

You can get sent to the Tower of London ( or even worse) for sharing your wi-fi with your neighbour!

@pentaplanet

Tbh I'm a history geek.. I love the tower of london it's better than being a home right now. Soak up the history by living like Elizabeth the 1st locked in the tower 😂

Just reply with

Oh my GOD you're not still using mine are you?! It's been MONTHS I thought you'd have sorted your own out by now!

Morgan12 · 24/04/2020 11:14

I'd just reply 'mines is fine.'

Qgardens · 24/04/2020 11:15

Mines fine is a good one.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 24/04/2020 11:15

Well, you can't can you? Your wifi is down Grin

CuriousaboutSamphire · 24/04/2020 11:15

But yes "Mine's fine!" is a great answer!

CCaK · 24/04/2020 11:18

"yes, I've had to switch to a lower bandwidth with a new provider because it was getting too expensive for me".

Babyg1995 · 24/04/2020 11:23

My neighbor asked me the same thing I said no straight away just a plain and simple no and no explanation either this is madness 😂

sunflowersandtulips50 · 24/04/2020 11:24

Hmm that's odd mine is fine you might want to check with your provider - leave it at that

Spiffingly · 24/04/2020 11:26

Reply "mine too! Who are you with?"

Rider10 · 24/04/2020 11:30

Another vote for "Mine is fine"!

CrazyTimesAreOccurring · 24/04/2020 11:30

I think "mine's fine" is a great answer! But add "who are you with" too Grin and be shocked when she admits she's not sorted it!
