I'm sure you're looking for non-technical solutions (since that sounds like that's what most of the ideas were), but what about writing a small bit of code that looks at the mac addresses on your wifi.

It could be tied to specific mac addresses if you only want dropins when anchors are around or if anyone is on your wifi (assuming you can only get to the wifi if you're in the office).
