Renaming office Wi-Fi 'EXECUTIVE_PRIORITY_5G' convinced execs it got dramatically faster
mkheck · x · 2026-09-18
A sysadmin's tale: execs complained the boardroom Wi-Fi felt slow despite a 487 Mbps speed test. He created a network named EXECUTIVEPRIORITY5G—same APs, same connection, same VLAN, just a pricier name. The CEO was instantly impressed, five VPs begged for access by lunch, and the admin gated it as "executive bandwidth." Performance unchanged, satisfaction through the roof. Psychology 101.
