Here’s mundane for yas !!! I live in an apartment building surrounded by other buildings. Had to re-set my WiFi router a few moments ago and noticed a handful of new names.
So, whatcha got within range of YOUR router?
NoamChomsky
NORAD
NYPD Surveillance
Replicant
SuperScubaBearNetwork ( my favorite )
Thunderdome

The only amusing one in my vicinity is my own network: Babybantha.

We used to have a few interesting network names. That was when people bought their own equipment and set it up. Mine was OleRed3.
AT&T installed U-verse at most of my neighbors. We all got these boring network names that came with the equipment.
Most are ATT1111111 or Home-1111
Where the number is unique for each network.

The only creatively named ones are my own: Yeti Survey Outpost Alpha (and Beta). The rest are just Belkin blah blah or ATT123.678
And one from PlayMobil which I’m guess is a baby cam. Or Baby’s First Router.

I’m pretty rural, so it’s just us and the farm across the street-- which is their last name. Mine is just Netgear16.

My neighbour has ‘Al-Qaeda Hideout’ on his.
I occasionally change mine to ‘ASIO Surveillance’ or ‘Mossad Hit squad’ to go along.

I’m at home and can see 7.
The funniest one is…
“Tracy.”
My neighbours are lame.

I’m in a big apartment building, so I can see a couple dozen. But, the only ones that appear to be anything besides generic default names or the owner’s last name are:
BaylorBears
reddevils
prettyflyforawifi
Bill\_Wi\_The\_Science\_Fi
Infinite Devil Machine
Semiautomagic
(The last two are mine.)

I’ve been forced to use a stinkin’ laptop on the couch. I’m _damn lucky_ with it detects ours.
Real fuckin’ funny. :rolleyes:

Get Off My Wlan
(Mine is ChaosManor, which is at most borderline clever and hardly amusing at all.)

Those around our home (apart from our own) are so boring I named our guest network “Your network name is boring”.
I’m disappointed that this has not resulted in anyone making their network name less boring. Sigh.

One of my neighbours calls theirs “Wi Believe I Can Fi”. Everyone else has the manufacturer’s standard designation.
