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?
Don’t share all your WiFi SSIDs my dude. Its very common to be able to find someone’s likely location based on all the network names. Even Google and Apple use this technique instead of relying on GPS.
Come hang with me and Smith and Wesson!
What you’re describing is called Wardriving, I’ve done it and used it to track/confirm someone’s location
Nice to see a fellow WoT enjoyer among your neighbors.

Element of surprise. It does, in fact, have Internet
The only network I can see is my own. But as soon as the bears get wifi we’ll engage in some goofy hilariousness!
“This wifi is too fast.”
I used to have ‘FBI Van 21’ back in the 2010s but haven’t really cared in recent years
I’m in IT and use my hotspot as an internet umbrella for troubleshooting - my hotspot name is “FBI Surveillance Van”. (I also carry a usb-c to eth adapter for those stubborn hardline devices)
There are five FBI Surveillance Vans in my range y’all need to get a new joke.
That’s weird though, now there’s six…
Sorry, FBI joke innovation is halted. New jokes are on ICE
Mine is Silence of the LANs
My wifi name has been “Not yours” for 12 years
PRÓBA 5G GDAŃSK 621% MOCY
which means
5G TEST GDAŃSK 621% POWER
Ah yes, the absolutely random number 621
I had one once “FBI Surveillance Van 7” and the neighbors renamed to “CIA Underground Bunker” and “International War Criminal”
I came up with: WI FI INdER NET ROOTE eRWÄLAN While I couldn’t sleep on night. It only makes sense in German. I don’t use it though cause I’m not sure if it’s racist.
Obi W-Lan Kenobi is mine

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
I worked in tech support for a few years and the amount of times a boomer read this out to me… Well maybe only a couple but it was funny explaining it to them
Mine is “network unavailable”.
Ours is “Unsecured WiFi”
Three top SSIDs!
Did it elope with the satellite signal?
In my neighborhood multiple people still have unsecure printers so the list always has more than one HP-Setup{numbers}.
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.
The WiFi hotspot on my phone is called “Initializing…”
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.
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”
Business Isn’t a Real Major
Diabolical, love it.
How about “Econ isn’t a science”
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.
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
*groan*
That’s impressive.
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.
It’s my Octavia tune on warframe. I have had people quit matches on me for it :|
Mine is: ITHertzWhenIP
Mine as well. My 2.5 is ithertzwhenIP My 5 band is BillWIthescienceFI
Mobile terhering hotspot is: 8 HZ WAN IP
I’m waiting for somebody to be looking at their phone, smile, and look around. It hasn’t happened yet, but I chuckle at somebody getting it some day.
Love it.
Could even go with: 8 MHz WAN IPI had to think about it even after you pointed out it. The 8 as a standin for “it” wasn’t doing me any favors in getting it (assuming I’ve got it right at all). The first thought I had was “8Hz? That’d be absurdly slow!”
Make it a story. At some point change it to “megahertz”, then a while later “gigahertz” - see if anyone is paying attention.
Fortunately, not too many people are going to see it. I have two WAPs. The upper one is on the first floor and runs at just enough power to cover the 1st and 2nd floors. The 2nd WAP is in the basement.
Get much past 100 feet from my house and it’s very difficult to pick up. While some of my neighbors 4 or 5 doors down are broadcasting their WiFi at full power, one is even completely open. LOL
I have two WAPs
Omg, please reference the song if you ever change the SSIDs
