If you want to hide your WiFi network from most wardriving/mapping aggregators (including Wigle, Google's and MSFT's) the format for naming the SSID is as follows:

SSID_optout_nomap

Where SSID is whatever unique name you wish

can you explain?

It’s not a technical thing that hides it. It would be the policy of the mappers to not include SSIDs that have those terms.

I once setup my WiFi name to broadcast as “weak wifi” so no one would attempt to join it if they picked it up on a scan. 😂😂😂
