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?
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
Mine is “network unavailable”.
Ours is “Unsecured WiFi”
Wu Tang LAN
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”
My neighbour’s was Gaypeopleshouldbeshot. I moved out as soon as I could.
I would’ve mine up to match but milder. “Are the Straight Ok?” and “I’ve Seen Your Hateful Straight Ass On Grindr”
“FBI Surveillance Van” was my favorite local.

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

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”?

Forgot to mention that I live in a red state too.
Don’t answer; script kiddies can find out where you live based on these names.
mine is: Let the FOSS be with you
My favorite is PrettyFlyForAWiFi
On a work trip in the mid 2010s. We were staying at a hotel located near FB/Meta HQ in Menlo Park.
Once I was in for the night, I went looking for WiFi and then I saw it:

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.
I had a bunch of Trek Nerds living near me it seems:
Enterprise-D
Borg Cube
Deep Space Nine
Federation Satelite or something
It was wild
I joined my neighbor. Her WiFi is called “gothcave”, so I named mine “nerdcave”
So you… *ahem* …caved in, then?
slow clap
Mine is: ITHertzWhenIP
