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 just use the same standard, boring name I got with my router 10 years ago and I change it to be the same with each new router. Because I’d rather be fucked in the ass than update my 100 devices to connect to a new wifi.

    “The password of [neighbour’s SSID] is [embarrassing password]”

    Or some such. Not sure if it was the real password, but soon after everyone was doing it to one another and it got people super confused.

    I would suggest naming your 2.4 network “use channel 1 6 or 11. Google it” it fits barely

    It’s not super creative but I named my mom’s network “The Internet” so when she asks for help with getting online I can ask if she’s tried connecting to The Internet.

    My network is named “Hot Signals In Your Area”. It used to be “Routers of the Lost Ark”. My guest network is “Guesty McGuestface”

    Unfortunately, no one else in my building has anything creative.

    I’ve seen “Leader Desslock”, “NSA_Hotspot”, “Wicked Evil Jowls”. In college someone in my dorm named their’s “Business Isn’t a Real Major”

    For a while I had House LANister and a few neighbors joined with GoT names. We all changed to more standard names after the disappointing finale

    Now I have “this is the ATT router” that I changed the name to do some debugging (I wasn’t sure which one was my own router since I run it as a bridge) and recently another neighbor changed theirs to “and my xFinity”

    Sadly in my apartment complex they seem to all use the default name given by the router (like Carrier-randomnumbers).

    I have a friend who named his WiFi “Connecting…” which is diabolical
