SHADOWS BETWEEN WALLS
A resident watches WiFi vanish whenever neighbors linger in the narrow space between homes, linking cameras and an ailing AC to an unsettling, routine outside presence.
Hide the network or keep watching?

The poster says the trouble starts the moment the neighbors step outside: the cameras drop off WiFi, devices get blocked, and the connection dies as if someone flipped a switch. "Whenever they go outside that's when it happens," the poster wrote, describing a pattern that has turned their home network into a target.
The strange part, according to the poster, is where the neighbors keep showing up. They say they've seen them "between our houses where my AC unit is at," the narrow space between the two homes where there shouldn't be much reason to linger. That's also where the poster believes something happened to the air conditioner itself.
An AC technician allegedly gave the poster a blunt explanation: someone had "emptied refrigerant from my AC." The poster says the repairman told them that was "the only way it could've happened due to it being a brand new built home...." In the poster's telling, that detail connects the dots, the WiFi trouble, the camera failures, and the neighbors being outside at the exact wrong moments.
Since the neighbors moved in, the poster says the pattern has been constant. Their WiFi "immediately goes out" or cuts off when the neighbors are outside "in between my house." The cameras, they add, "no longer work when they're home." The disruptions are tied so closely to the neighbors' presence, the poster says, that they've stopped seeing it as coincidence.
The post doesn't stop there. The poster adds a pointed reassurance to anyone reading: "PS no I am not paranoid." Then comes the actual request, stripped of everything except the practical problem now sitting at the center of the story: "Can anyone please tell me how to hide my WiFi network?"
What began as a dead connection has become, in the poster's account, a pattern of interference stretching from the internet to the air conditioner, with the neighbors repeatedly appearing in the same stretch of space between the houses. The poster says they can see the timing, but they want a way to make the network disappear from view before it gets hit again.
