[Rack] Killed the encrypted wifi networks

[John E]

This morning, there was some weirdness with an AP SSID 'noisebridge'
serving IPs in the range 192.168.173.x from DHCP. This may have been
an 'evil twin' type op by somebody.

I did not idenify the source by MAC address, but probably should have.
This looks suspiciously like one of the WEP/WPA/WPA2 routers
reconfigured during recent network issues, in a botched repair
attempt, that was plugged back in.

I support Rubin in killing these extra APs

Regards,
John
