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?
Be safe guys. Because of SSID location mapping services it’s possible to pinpoint the location of many people in this thread.
A lot of the SSIDs in this thread have been used multiple times in different locations. But you raise a valid point.
Yeah, there are always some. I use a “hidden” network and don’t broadcast my SSID so I keep it simple and easy to enter in on any device. Had a neighbor in the past who was nice enough and I let him use my wifi but then I turned into his tech support, fuck that. If the neighbors don’t see my broadcasting they won’t ask. Besides I keep as much as I can hardwired, it’s just better.
“shout ‘penis’ for password”
I always do!
I once had a wifi that had as many character as as I could fit from this sequence of long digits that Data reads out as Picard but I goofed. Someone else changed their wifi to “The 3 is supposed to be a C”
Pretty Fly for a WiFi
Pretty Fly for a Wi5
My SO’s wifi is called “Connection not possible”
A friend of mine used to name his infected with viruses
Unfortunately no. I think I’ll try something and see if someone joins in.
I have a boring Wifi name and everyone around too, but this reminds me that I was once sitting on the train and was watching a video with bluetooth headphones in and texting with my friends and some jerk constantly tried to connect to my phone via bluetooth. A pop up window constantly asked me if I wanted to connect to this other guy’s phone and since I was texting I came close to misclicking on ‘yes’ more than once. Then I renamed my phone to FuckOff and he got the message, since then all my phones are called FuckOff.
I thought “eduroam” was a pretty funny name
Thats actually cool. My neighbours have incredibly boring names, default names like tp-link and netgear… Zzz.
My girlfriend’s neighbors have “yer a wifi Harry” and “Harry you are a wizard” or something to make fun of the first one.
I wish to name it in a funny way. But there is a ton of devices that I have connected over the wifi and I dont have enough willpower to reconnect them all once I change the name.
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/
Sorry but fuck Google.
Mine is NOTtheNSAvan, and I see in the list of active WiFi networks is one called fbivan
Router? I hardly know her!
This has been our family wifi SSID for almost 20 years, and over 2 continents. 😂
Might steal this one.
