Please add _nomap to the end of your SSID (the name of your wifi network) if you don’t want Google to use it in their tracking mechanisms.

Please add _optout anywhere in your SSID if you don’t want Microsoft to use it in their tracking mechanisms.

If your SSID is Network change it to Network_optout_nomap

Ridiculous as fuck, but that’s what they came up with. I have no idea what other services use to block their Wifi collectors, but these 2 are very prominent anyway.
