As a little background to the question, I’m moving from where I live because cost of living is way too high. I have found a few apartments that are within my budget but they all have “complementary WiFi”. Is there anything I should be aware of?

the router admin page was left on default login credentials
i used it to throttle everyone else’s internet when I had large downloads or video calls. I was the horror story
(this is not good neighborly behavior and years later in retrospect i regret it)
Shouldn’t QoS* priority be the same thing just less obvious? If you wanna be just a little bit of a horror story
I mean, I did sorta try not to be a nuisance with it. At least for large downloads I tried to do those late at night and then unthrottle once they finished
but one night I fell asleep with the throttling left on and then the next morning my landlady knocks on my door with one of my neighbors who’s rather distraught looking, and says “I know this is weird to ask but you’re my granddaughter’s age and she’s good with tech… [neighbor] works from home and can’t get her video calls to connect, can you reset the router for us?”
10 minutes later I’m a “hero” and got to experience a truly deserved level of guilt 🫠
Not all routers have it
