I'm personally a fan of:

"New Wi-Fi Who Dis" and "Spaceballs: The Wi-Fi"

I had trouble thinking up an original, funny name so I've just gone with "Lorem Ipsum" in the meantime

At my old house, mine was NeverGonnaGiveYouUp. Nobody continued it for all the five years I was there, as far as I could tell :(

"No somos los marihuanos" (We're not the stoners)

We moved into a very posh neighborhood and when hooking up our kit there was one that read, “Money cannot buy you class”.

My guest WiFi is called Honeypot. I leave it up even when guests aren't around, but for some reason none of my neighbors have tried to connect. Either they're all much more tech savvy or much less tech savvy than I give them credit.

Mine's We don't have WiFi

It's fun when guests ask "what's your WiFi called?" I tell them and they're baffled by all the electronics everywhere and me "not having" WiFi.

Skynet. (It has been for years and finally it got relevant again.)

My last one was named Super Mario LAN :)

[–] StupydHors@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The password for my wifi is "alluppercase". I also used to have "IDontKnow" and "DontAskMe". Its fun when new people visit.

There was one named FBIMobileSurveillance once. It was weird because it would dissapear for a while then come back.

I'm sure the black suv that would randomly sit in different locations along the highway, (even in the median) with a guy on a computer in the driver seat had nothing to do with it... dundundunnn

Haven't seen the network or the van in a couple of years...

Just sayin.

my coworker asked to borrow a router for troubleshooting. I changed the SSID before giving it to him to: "2 inches and loving it"
