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?
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.

Who’s on first, What’s on second, I don’t know’s on third.
Gawd, how many under 30 (or even 40) even know of that routine?
Hey now, don’t underestimate it, it’s PRETTY famous. I’m 35, and I heard it as a kid.
Lol mine is “Why?” for the same reasons
Wu Tang LAN
All of my WiFi names have been taken from the game American McGee’s Alice (the first one): “Pool of Tears”, “Skool Daze”, “Hollow Hideaway”, “Mystifying Madness”, etc. Sadly, all of my neighbors are computer illiterate, so they always leave the router’s default name.
Element of surprise. It does, in fact, have Internet
PRÓBA 5G GDAŃSK 621% MOCY
which means
5G TEST GDAŃSK 621% POWER
Ah yes, the absolutely random number 621
Mine is Silence of the LANs
Lived in an apartment complex a while back. Found an SSID while setting up my network, Ebony3HoleEnjoyer. Never found out who dunnit.
Guess you don’t have an “ebony hole”, then.
EDIT: sorry for inadvertently spamming responses. I thought they weren’t going through for some reason, but it turns out my Lemmy client (Thunder) doesn’t make it obvious when a thread is collapsed (which is also too easy to accidentally do without noticing), so they were just hidden from my view. The only indication was a small “+n” number in the upper right corner, which I obviously missed.
One of my faves is an over the road truck driver who named his hotspot “Abodeless”.
My SO’s wifi is called “Connection not possible”
A friend of mine used to name his infected with viruses

Since OpenWRT supports special characters in wifi names, mine is (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
It fucks with older wifi chips but most modern stuff connects just fine
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”?
Do you have 2.4, 5, and guest on each?
One router (the gateway) has a 2.4 and a 5ghz radio. The other one (the relay), a 2.4 and three 5ghz radios.

Forgot to mention that I live in a red state too.
The “All my neighbors are lame” part makes sense now.
Love it

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!
