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?
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”
Next door used to use “Kevin’s Porn”. We’re still “Porn For Kevin” lol
My son’s is KittyPorn.
spybus is he direct translation
Thats actually cool. My neighbours have incredibly boring names, default names like tp-link and netgear… Zzz.
Mine is NOTtheNSAvan, and I see in the list of active WiFi networks is one called fbivan
Lived in an apartment complex a while back. Found an SSID while setting up my network, Ebony3HoleEnjoyer. Never found out who dunnit.
Guess you don’t have an “ebony hole”, then.
EDIT: sorry for inadvertently spamming responses. I thought they weren’t going through for some reason, but it turns out my Lemmy client (Thunder) doesn’t make it obvious when a thread is collapsed (which is also too easy to accidentally do without noticing), so they were just hidden from my view. The only indication was a small “+n” number in the upper right corner, which I obviously missed.
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!
I have mine set to “VIP Room” and live in an apartment building.
On a work trip in the mid 2010s. We were staying at a hotel located near FB/Meta HQ in Menlo Park.
Once I was in for the night, I went looking for WiFi and then I saw it:
SSID HideYoKidsHideYoWiFi
Don’t they know you can’t have kids when you have Wi-Fi - be it due to sterilization from the signals, or simply because you’re both too addicted to social media to do the deed?

My girlfriend’s neighbors have “yer a wifi Harry” and “Harry you are a wizard” or something to make fun of the first one.
All of my WiFi names have been taken from the game American McGee’s Alice (the first one): “Pool of Tears”, “Skool Daze”, “Hollow Hideaway”, “Mystifying Madness”, etc. Sadly, all of my neighbors are computer illiterate, so they always leave the router’s default name.
