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 have a boring Wifi name and everyone around too, but this reminds me that I was once sitting on the train and was watching a video with bluetooth headphones in and texting with my friends and some jerk constantly tried to connect to my phone via bluetooth. A pop up window constantly asked me if I wanted to connect to this other guy’s phone and since I was texting I came close to misclicking on ‘yes’ more than once. Then I renamed my phone to FuckOff and he got the message, since then all my phones are called FuckOff.
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.
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!
Mine is NOTtheNSAvan, and I see in the list of active WiFi networks is one called fbivan
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!
Might steal this one.
This has been our family wifi SSID for almost 20 years, and over 2 continents. 😂
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/
Sorry but fuck Google.
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).
