Even worse, it disconnects and re-enables auto-join at 5 AM local time. 
Bluetooth works the same way.

I have heard a theory that they did this because of BLE beacons, but that does 
not explain doing it for Wi-Fi.

So, is anyone else getting killed by hotspot interference?

Last year was so pleasant! Most clients moved to 5Ghz (away from interfering 
2.4Ghz printers). Now interference is back in the form of iPhone hotspots. I 
bet 2-3% of the iPhones on our campus are hot.

...a bunch of Mrs. O'Leary's cows wandering around. More challenging game than 
printers...
