My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.
My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.
Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?
I wish to name it in a funny way. But there is a ton of devices that I have connected over the wifi and I dont have enough willpower to reconnect them all once I change the name.
Router? I hardly know her!
Just a note since google maps your SSID: To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with “_nomap.” For example, if your SSID is “12345,” you would change it to “12345_nomap.”
And probably not a good idea to publish your SSID if you don’t want your location known because of things like this https://wigle.net/

I’ve been using “Riri Wifi et Loulou” for more than a decade. It’s a pun on the french names of Huey, Dewey and Louie (it’s supposed to be Riri Fifi et Loulou).
I have mine set to “VIP Room” and live in an apartment building.
Next door used to use “Kevin’s Porn”. We’re still “Porn For Kevin” lol

My phone hotspot is “Starbucks Free Wi-Fi” passworded of course.
My home is “Router? I hardly know her!”
A great password to use is “thepasswordtowhat”.
Friend: Hey whats your wifi password?
Me: thepasswordtowhat
Friend: Your wifi
Me: What about it?
Friend: WHATS THE PASSWORD?
Me: thepasswordtowhat
Friend: Frustrated noises.
Lol mine is “Why?” for the same reasons
In a similar vein: idonotremember
Who’s on first, What’s on second, I don’t know’s on third.
I know a guy in college whose dorm ended up with a wifi naming theme. Someone (highly suspected to be the passive aggressive super religious fundie on the floor above) changed their wifi name to “Stop, we can all hear you having sex”
So naturally, someone changed theirs to ‘I can hear you NOT having sex’
at that point it was on lol.
I had a bunch of Trek Nerds living near me it seems:
Enterprise-D
Borg Cube
Deep Space Nine
Federation Satelite or something

Since OpenWRT supports special characters in wifi names, mine is (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
It fucks with older wifi chips but most modern stuff connects just fine
Hide ya kids hide ya wifi
