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.
Lol mine is “Why?” for the same reasons
In a similar vein: idonotremember
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.
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
We had a bunch of “surveillance van #X” at an old apartment. I joined in.
This was before surveillance vans were a real threat though. Not as funny with all the ice shit these days.
Mine is “network unavailable”.
Ours is “Unsecured WiFi”
Three top SSIDs!
Abraham Linksys
John Wilkes Bluetooth
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/

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”
“FBI Surveillance Van” was my favorite local.
I should throw up a new “Antifa Countersurveillance Stationwagon” ssid
Probably end up getting your place raided by morons.
Business Isn’t a Real Major
Diabolical, love it.
How about “Econ isn’t a science”
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”
RCMP Surveillance Moose #1812 here
A møøse once bit my sister
My neighbours have CSIS Surveillance Van 3
Mine is named Projectile Vomiting Cyst Fluid.
Excellent
Ew
I had NETGEAR Gonna Give You Up before that if the gross out names don’t do it for 'ya :p
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.
I went with it_hertz_when_IP but have yet to see anyone with similar naming…
Mine is: ITHertzWhenIP
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”
I cannot believe just how absurdly long that has endured - it’s almost literally been an eternity in Internet time.
I think it helps that it’s genuinely a really catchy, uplifting, fucking excellent song, with a fun music video, and the artist really seems like an incredibly wholesome sweetheart.
It also my Fortnite dance when I get a win. Just cause.
even longer than loss
Somehow I missed out on that entirely - I only learned of it relatively recently. Probably because I’ve never been into memes all that much.
it’s no great loss
