My girlfriend’s neighbors have “yer a wifi Harry” and “Harry you are a wizard” or something to make fun of the first one.

I thought “eduroam” was a pretty funny name

Thats actually cool. My neighbours have incredibly boring names, default names like tp-link and netgear… Zzz.

Mine is NOTtheNSAvan, and I see in the list of active WiFi networks is one called fbivan

One of our neighbours has his set to “SAPS Surveillance Van” - “SAPS”, South African Police Services.

Ours is named after my son’s YouTube channel… free advertising!

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/

Next door used to use “Kevin’s Porn”. We’re still “Porn For Kevin” lol

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.

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.
