Ask Lemmy

One that is popular in my country is Michiel de Router which is a play on the VOC man Michiel de Ruyter.

But yeah sometimes there's an FBI Surveillance Van or a "It's this one Mom!"

Ours was "{town} Free Wi-Fi" when we lived in the town centre for a while, just to confuse tourists. It was more of a getting stabbed area than a fun SSID name area though.

My old name was " Mai Waifu" and now it's "[my last name] mojo dojo casa house". No on else around me have funny names which makes me sad.

I would suggest naming your 2.4 network "use channel 1 6 or 11. Google it" it fits barely

Mine is NOTtheNSAvan, and I see in the list of active WiFi networks is one called fbivan

I have my 2.4 network named IsThisTheKrustyKrab and my 5 network named WutangLAN.

One neighbor joined in with Winternet is Coming, the other called theirs Childish Name.

Mine used to be: Tenant Cam 2

Unfortunately no. I think I'll try something and see if someone joins in.

One of my faves is an over the road truck driver who named his hotspot "Abodeless".

I'm in Texas, so mine currently says "Free Porn Here". In the past it was always some snarky bullshit. My buddy's is "FBI Mobile Team" or something similar. I think he's had one about the DEA in the past.

So nothing funny or clever about Wi-Fi or networking, but definitely not normal names.

I'm Tie WiFighter, but nobody's joined in in my neighborhood

We have used the name Flexo for years if only because it makes me smile. No one else in the neighborhood is funny though.

Was on a train to London once and spotted a wifi called ‘I shaved your mum’. I still chuckle about it now.

For a while I had House LANister and a few neighbors joined with GoT names. We all changed to more standard names after the disappointing finale

Now I have "this is the ATT router" that I changed the name to do some debugging (I wasn't sure which one was my own router since I run it as a bridge) and recently another neighbor changed theirs to "and my xFinity"

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!

One of my neighbors has The_Booty_Warrior. Another's is FBI_Surveillance_Van_273

Mine is ‘HoloNet’, but it’s kind of a deep cut unless you’re really into Star Wars.

My son's is KittyPorn.

Years ago I had "pantomiming_suicide" and someone created one about calling the suicide hotline. It's actually a Mormon reference that I just thought would make a funny name but I can see how that wasn't obvious now.

For over a decade, mine was "Pretty Fly For A Wifi".
