A friend of mine was in the same situation (flat above). He reported them to the council and they did actually get kicked out a few months later. So it does work.

Can you get a really powerful wifi transmitter, set it to your neighbour's channel and cause interference that way? (Since I changed my wifi to an unused (locally) channel, I've had much improved stability).

I like the sound of this. I'm still not sure how it works though. Do you need any extra gear?Originally posted by LazyFan View PostHere is how to do it:

Is there an outside gas meter? Get a mate to bypass it when they're out and report them...

Maybe buy some really crap old analogue sender on eBay. Sounds daft but last year I was thinking of chucking out an analogue sender I brought at least 15 years ago to relay a signal to a 2nd TV and never used. Just testing it out to see if it worked, thinking I could maybe use for my CCTV and it killed the digital TV signal stone dead. Stopped the missus watching boring tennis. Might work with WIFI.

That's because the police don;t do noise.Originally posted by Sysman View PostTried that. The guy who does Thursday nights is a huge fooker and on the last attempt told me that he doesn't give a toss if I involve the police.

Ring your council, they'll have a noise abatement officer who'll come round if:
a) the noise is really loud
b) its unsocial hours - 10 pm - 6 am say.

Many thanks. That one really appeals because I don't want any legal consequences.Originally posted by LazyFan View PostHi,
Some of these are quite nasty. But a more passive (as in won't get you in trouble with the police) but will really annoy them is to create 5000 Fake WIFI Access Points all with the same name as their wifi point. Then just sit back and wait for them to try and reconnect their iMac, in the knowledge that they will never be able to find the real one ever again until they change the name. At which point you will of course create 10000 of those (and keep the old 5000). This way they will believe their router is screwed
.
Here is how to do it:

This bit really appeals to my sense of humour:
Evil but legal is the phrase that comes to mindIf one access point is good, 53,000 must be better.

Ah, sure.Originally posted by Sysman View PostSame music as last year (why don't these feckers have any imagination?)
Too loud. Too boring. Fecking repetitive It's the Ecstasy crowd and I do not like their crap music.
Deliberately posted in General rather than Technical 'cos I don't really want to do this.
They do deserve it though.
