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?

    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.

      Don’t share all your WiFi SSIDs my dude. Its very common to be able to find someone’s likely location based on all the network names. Even Google and Apple use this technique instead of relying on GPS.

    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”

    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”

    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”?

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

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

    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.
