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

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"

Opening up wifi list at every DefCon I've been to:

"Never gonna give you up"

"Never gonna say goodbye "

"Never gonna run around "

"And desert you"

Mine is: ITHertzWhenIP

All my neighbors are lame but I have two routers, giving me a total of six SSIDs to play with. So I have wifi names like "Trump Fucks Kids", "Charlie Kirk was a Literal Nazi", and "Where are the Epstein Files"?

I joined my neighbor. Her WiFi is called "gothcave", so I named mine "nerdcave"

RCMP Surveillance Moose #1812 here

Neighbors at my old apartment had KKK as their network name. They were huge pieces of shit who knew I could hear everything through the walls, so they would have entire conversations about me with slurs every other word. They were also armed, and talked about their guns constantly (again, knowing I could hear everything). Imagine laying in bed at 3am trying to get some sleep before a 7am meeting, and having to listen to two racist assholes literally yell through the walls just to harass me and make sure I couldn’t fall asleep.

Living there was so stressful.

Since OpenWRT supports special characters in wifi names, mine is (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

It fucks with older wifi chips but most modern stuff connects just fine

Mine is "Untrusted Network"

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.

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.

Be safe guys. Because of SSID location mapping services it's possible to pinpoint the location of many people in this thread.

I haven’t seen collaboration like that but some good ones I’ve seen are ‘we can hear you having sex’ and ‘the gang gets WiFi’

Mine has been “WiFi Art Thou Romeo?” for 20+ years

I went with it_hertz_when_IP but have yet to see anyone with similar naming...

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.

Years ago my local firefighters were setting up a wifi setup that went across the town for them to use, so we named our wifi after theirs, about a week later we get a knock on the door asking us to change it because the firefighters around me couldn't connect to their network.

Not sure how they found out it was us, I think someone ratted us out.

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/

Pretty much everyone around here uses the default name. So its a bunch of "ARRRIS_xxxx", "Netgear_xxxx", and the occasional "LASTNAME".

Nothing fun aside from us unfortunately.

No community in jokes, but mine used to be "MailOrderWifi" and I had a neighbor who's wifi name was "OnlyGaysStealWifi" with no password

Ive seen "FBI Surveillance Van" a few times.

One of my neighbours has a pretty clever one. Michiel de Ruiter is a common Dutch name, so they made it 'Michiel de Router'

Not Spying On You

Covert NSA Surveillance

I Got Hacked

Connect to AOL

Skynet Mobile Operations

We Didn't Start the Firewall

I called mine "Gay Lover Paradise" and just get angry looks lol

No but ive seen one called "hot signals in your area" in zurich airport which gave me a chuckle

One of my friend's neighbors named their wifi "is this the Krusty Krab?"

Of course he named his, "no, this is Patrick"

Everyone should change theirs to RELEASTHEEPSTEINwifiLES!

NSA_Van_#

Not NSA Van

I named mine to reflect the local police force and my neighbours kind of went quiet.

My favorite is PrettyFlyForAWiFi
