My public wifi broadcast id is "Free_Candy"

Dallymo		2013-02-17 06:35:11 PM

The owner of our company was in town last year and needed to connect to the office wifi; she said, "Um, is this our wifi?" In addition to ours and some others that obviously belonged to building tenants was "Pussy Wagon," so thanks, Pussy Wagon people, for making me have that special moment with the boss.

Dial_up_VPN is probably the best. It doesn't make you a target like other names, but is nothing anyone else wants a piece of.

SilentStrider		2013-02-17 06:42:19 PM

NCIS surveillance van.

FBI was too cliché

The only remotely interesting one within radius is 007JamesBond.

Ours is Wolf359, named after the Outer Limits (OS) episode, not the ST:NG episode.

Nina Haagen Dazs		2013-02-17 07:14:37 PM

There's one in my neighborhood named Motorola. It's open.

propasaurus		2013-02-17 07:21:10 PM

Looks like one of the neighbors has one called TrollMachine.

You know, the star kinda existed before either of those episodes aired.

ImperialStarDestroyer is one I used. Also considered FelonHalfwayHouse and NuclearTestCenter.

I know, but the OL episode has always been a favorite of mine. Our previous router's name was Tardis.

SilentStrider		2013-02-17 08:26:37 PM

I've seen a pair online I thought were good.
The first was "You're music is annoying".
The second was "Your grammar is more annoying".

SJKebab		2013-02-17 09:17:42 PM

I set up "Sailing in the seas of Wifi" a while back, I figured only my mates would get a little chuckle out of it. A few months later, a neighbour changed his to "Jerry was a Wifi Driver". Had a few beers with the guy since.

There's a Quizno's in downtown St. Louis owned by a middle-eastern person. You can join the "Jihad" there. I have a feeling it's the design studio above them though.

Mine has been XXX Donkey Porn for the last year or so

utsagrad123		2013-02-17 09:25:11 PM

I always crack up when I see a WiFi network named "linksys".

Ryan2065		2013-02-17 09:26:51 PM

In my apartment complex someone has Hide_your_kids_hide_your_Wifi

That's the best I've seen.

DEA surveillance van is the best in my opinion

/Thinking of changing it to the frequently recommended "FBI Surveillance Van".

If my neighbors wifi is unsecured, should I do them a favor and secure it?

wireham		2013-02-17 10:30:37 PM

Ours is a message to our neighbors, who have the "Dog Lovers" router. Ours is named "Shut Your Dogs Up" since they bark all hours of the day and night. Hasn't gotten the message across yet. Ahh, passive aggressiveness.

Past names for my routers include "Anal Seepage", "Pedorama", "Pedopalooza", and "Google Blue Waffle". That last one, I hope, hurt some neighbors, since they deserved it ;)

ravenlore		2013-02-17 10:32:39 PM

In my building we have Eehgads! and Hard NOP Life

hundreddollarman		2013-02-17 10:32:39 PM
