Mine is out of order. But it works just fine. There is someone that lives near my in-laws, his is Porn Videos Only. The first time he saw it, my FIL was going to return his tablet thinking something was wrong with the wifi in his neighborhood. ---

Someone near my old doctor used to have one of those “FBI Surveillance Van” WiFi addresses. The trouble is, they had no idea how to spell it, so it was something like “FBI\_Siervalleace\_Van”, only spelled even worse.

One WiFI name that shows up on my log-in is spelled “FBIsurvailance1”, and I am 99% certain who/where it is due to me knowing when people had service installed (saw the company truck there) and when the name showed up shortly afterwards (in my very rural location). I changed my router’s name to “FBI is literate” the same day. They will likely never notice it, or understand the parody upon them :rolleyes: ---
