Local wifi names!

Yeah, that’s a good one. :slight_smile:

Mine is just vendor default. Messing with the SSID was more fun when we didn’t have sixteen or so WiFi-enabled devices which all need to be manually connected to the new network. Next time I change the router, I’ll drop back into this thread for inspiration. :slight_smile:

Same. I always call mine Echo Base.

Mine has always been called illuminati.

I stole “Pretty Fly for WiFi” off the 'net a few years ago, but these days it’s just the pre-installed one.

My current one is WyFy followed by numbers which suggest our street address, but which are in fact the street address numbers of a nearby house.

Since I don’t broadcast my SSID, I figure anyone who gets that far will have nefarious intent and there’s no reason to aid them in digging further.

Previously, I have used SKYNET and something in the vein of “FBI Surveillance Van.” The latter struck me as too encouraging to would-be malcontents.

The FBI/Surveillance Van/FCC monikers are overdone and used ubiquitously. I’ve even seen ones like that come up at the airport, probably from some nerd’s phone.

Most creative one I saw was PornhubFreeHotSpot. It was unsecure and I’m sure used as a honey pot to capture data.

I get bored with mine and change it every few months or so. I live in a rural area so I don’t see too many other signals. Most of mine are Star Trek related and the current name is “Borg Collective”.

Similar to Teuton, I stole Pretty Fly 4 A Wi-Fi from an internet list of funny WiFi names.

The only other good one in our neighborhood is It Hurts When IP.

Are they Nazis or dope fiends? Or both?

Somebody in my building has named theirs “Funkshit.” Not sure what that’s about. Everything else (including mine) is the Fios default name, except for the one Xfinity customer in the building. Who also happens to be the only person who’s left his wifi unsecured.

I’ve used Batgirl, Birdhouse, and Spiderman in the past. I think my new digs ought to sport Centipede because I keep finding the ugly buggers in here.

I live near the laundry room at my complex: AssholesDoLaundry@2am

I’m glad his thread provoked me to look. There’s a new one: “comcast sucks arse”.

Well, this is creepy. That is the name of one of my wifi networks until very recently. I had two, the other is “Galaxy” and my computers are named after various characters from Hitchiker’s Guide.

We have a 17 unit apartment building next to our home so the list of broadcast Wifi names that my devices pick up can be quite long. I appreciate a good humorous Wifi name but the one that hits the top of the list irritates me to no end; analrape.

If that’s yours, change the damn name! Haha

Mine is DeadlyComputerViruses

someone in my neighborhood set theirs to
YELLPENISFORTHEPASSWORD

I had to grab a screenshot of that one, who would believe me? lol

Not me, but analrapist would be an analyst/therapist who is good at saving time!

Bar/coffee shop/etc.

Ten years or so ago someone who worked on the floor beneath my office had an unsecured network with the router manufacturer name in the SSID. This was back when many networks were unsecured. So I looked up the default admin password for that router, which of course worked, and changed the SSID to “Bonerland.”

I saw one with that name in Seattle a few years ago.
