Among streaming music services, Spotify is one of the most popular in the market, the best app for listening to music and podcasts in both its free and paid forms. In addition to its catalog, one of Spotify's strengths is the availability of the app, which is available on all potential platforms.
And by arrest, the company is clear about it. In addition to the devices, they are looking for the music we want to hear to be the sound of our neighbors, and as a result they are sharing a strategy on social media. Bad plan.

This week there are many neighborhoods or apartments that are used to throw a party in the background health applause from 20:00. You won't miss the one who has the sound system and plays the music of those looking at the balcony.
By adopting this trend, Spotify has promoted a initiative to your neighborhood DJ to put on a song you like. What's the trick? Rename your Wi-Fi network to the song you want to play.
Do you have any kind of science? If we change the name of the Wi-Fi network, will our favorite music start playing? Well no, the core of Spotify is simpler than it looks.
Yes, we want to help music be with everyone these days. 💚
We want your neighbor DJ to turn on his wifi and see songs instead of network names, then click on your favorite songs.

The view itself is great (as long as your neighbor starts reading Wi-Fi networks), but if you're consistent, you can charge for your home connection.
Why is it a bad idea
The Wi-Fi network name works twice when it comes to displaying a name. The first is that we can identify the network, and the second is that devices with Wi-Fi can access the network and connect.
Your Wi-Fi name is the device for your home devices to connect.
If you change the name of your Wi-Fi slice, you may break the connection of any device connected to your router. Exactly:
- Your smartphone and that of the rest of the house.
- The plates.
- Desktops connect to WiFi and laptops.
- Virtual assistants such as Google Home or Alexa
- Any other Wi-Fi connected device (light bulbs, plugs, whatever).
You need not be afraid, and if you restore the network name to the original, everything will return to normal. In case you don't remember the previous name you can stay in touch with any tool by looking at the networks it has stored, but it can be a problem.
But I want to do it now, is there a way to do it?
If you liked the idea of Sotify and want to do it, go ahead. But we recommend a few ideas to make it as quick and easy as possible:
- If you are going to change the Wi-Fi password and you have a computer connected to the password, change the password to it, so you don't have to reconnect to the new Wi-Fi network.
- To prevent contamination, keep the name of the previous Wi-Fi.
- Another way to save you from trouble is to create a Wi-Fi access point from your phone. Just look at Settings -> Wi-Fi Networks -> Share connections. And from your mobile device you create Wi-Fi in the name of your favorite music. You also avoid breaking any communication at home.
