iPhone Bug - SSID Names with % followed by the letters p, s, s, s, n Disable WiFi on iPhones!

SSID's with percent symbols followed by the letters p, s, s, s, n disabled WiFi on iPhone.

Example:  Not that you would ever name your SSID to this  (“%p%s%s%s%s%n”), all Wi-Fi functionality on the iPhone will be disabled.

So some are saying avoid any WiFi names with the “%” symbol, at any point, start to finish. This scenario was discovered by reverse engineer Car Schou founder of Secret.Club.

More Info. This is a must read.. From 9-5 MAC.
