It hurts when IP
8Hz WAN IP

It confuses the hell out of Macs and some Linux stuff refuses to connect.
I had Zoidberg "(\/)(,;;,)(\/)" for awhile. And, yeah, not all devices liked that.
Saw a 5Ghz one called “COVID Vaccine”
Mines been named “WiFiArtThouRomeo” for, like, 20 years. Don’t know if it’s funny, but I think it’s cute. 
Mine is named Connecting... My guest network is Reconnecting...
Our neighbors grow weed, so my brother set one up as DEA Surveillance Van.
Had one named "FBI Surveillance Van #3". I know, not so creative even 10-years ago, but read on.
Guy at the end of the street sold weed. He was telling my neighbor to be on the lookout, there was an FBI van cruising around. Being at the end of the street, my signal faded in and out like it was moving. Dude was freaked the fuck out.

Visited a CeX store.
Their locked, employee-only Wi-Fi: Protected CeX
Their open public WiFi: Unprotected CeX
RCMP SURVEILLANCE MOOSE #2091
Mine is 'the LAN before time'
I set my dads as LAN Down Under
The Promised LAN
Mine is "GetOffMyLAN". Then one of my neighbors changed theirs to "GetOffMyLan69". I'm not even mad.
From Auntie Donna's Big 'ol House of Fun, "pretty fly for a WiFi"
For a while I used “Loading…”
One of my older ones was "WeDontHaveWifi" because people would say "what's your wifi?" and we would tell them that and sometimes they would say "ohh, ok" and not ask for the password, haha. Password, incidentally, was "whatPassword?"
I once saw one in my apartment building called “f-u-Mike” and I’ve always wondered which Mike in the building the owner was mad at and why
The geology dorm at my university had one called "geology rocks", always made me chuckle.
I work for an ISP. I got you fam.

2 girls 1 router
My sister had me name the wi-fi extender as "Papa John's Pizza and Abortions". My mother's side of the family is Catholic. We're still waiting for one of them to notice it
Mine is Trogdor.
I should make the password consummate v's.
I once saw "Mom, use this one" and I giggled.
I use "Router? I hardly know her!" for my 5Ghz, "Tell Your Wifi Say Hi!" for my 2.4Ghz
Been using WuTangLan for quite awhile. When I started splitting 5ghz and 2.4, we added MyWiFiFu.
I've been using Ermagherd Hertspert for years. Still makes me chuckle once in a while.
"404 Network Unavailable" and "FBI Surveillance Van #273"
Heads up that there are ways to look up locations for access point ESSIDs. You can basically narrow it down to an address. If you share a neighbor's ESSID also, it greatly helps ensure that they have the right address.
"SECURE YOUR NETWORK DIPASS"
This was back in the days when routers defaulted to no encryption with a stock password for the UI. Also I was the one who changed random people's SSID to that when I found an unsecured network.
