LizzyLAN for my cat Lizzy. Before that, I had Slicknet, but Slick the Cat went over the rainbow bridge. My router followed shortly thereafter, so I thought a network renaming was in order. I live in an apartment complex so I see a lot of router names when I do an area scan. More than one FBI van. I think someone chose it and a few others jumped on board. Longest neighbor is Enchanted Lizard whomever he may be. ---

We recently changed internet providers and could change the network name for the first time. The family decided on “Pretty Fly 4 A Wifi”. Not original, but the kids think it is hilarious. ---
