Executive Priority Wi-Fi

The executives said the boardroom Wi-Fi “feels slow.” Speed test: 487 Mbps. Apparently 487 Mbps has bad energy. So I created a new network: EXECUTIVE_PRIORITY_5G Same access points. Same internet connection. Same VLAN. I just gave it a more expensive name. Connected the CEO. He opened a website and immediately said: “Oh wow, this is way faster.” By lunch, five VPs had asked for access. I told them executive bandwidth is limited and I can only approve users with a genuine business requirement. They are now competing for access to Wi-Fi they already had. Performance is unchanged. Satisfaction is through the roof.

A network administrator creates a new Wi-Fi network with an executive-sounding name while keeping the same access points, internet connection, and VLAN. The CEO and VPs believe it is faster simply because it sounds more expensive and exclusive, satirizing corporate status bias and placebo effects. It is sent as a reaction to executives, branding, or expensive rebranding that changes nothing.
