Ask Lemmy

I haven’t seen collaboration like that but some good ones I’ve seen are ‘we can hear you having sex’ and ‘the gang gets WiFi’

I used to have 'FBI Van 21' back in the 2010s but haven't really cared in recent years

No community in jokes, but mine used to be "MailOrderWifi" and I had a neighbor who's wifi name was "OnlyGaysStealWifi" with no password

Sadly no, but mine is named: My Wi-Fi Left Me

I had one once "FBI Surveillance Van 7" and the neighbors renamed to "CIA Underground Bunker" and "International War Criminal"

Mine is Silence of the LANs

My SO's wifi is called "Connection not possible"

Years ago my local firefighters were setting up a wifi setup that went across the town for them to use, so we named our wifi after theirs, about a week later we get a knock on the door asking us to change it because the firefighters around me couldn't connect to their network.

Not sure how they found out it was us, I think someone ratted us out.

Mine has been “WiFi Art Thou Romeo?” for 20+ years

In my last apartment I had mine set to "FBI Surveillance Van 9" and a neighbor set theirs to "Suspicious Drug Den". Before that several of us changed to variations of "Library Wifi Ext #" to pick on the Librarian next door. Outside of those, my favorite was "Need a Wifi password?" With the password set to "WhyNotZoidberg?" I had the meme printed on the fridge and everything.

Pretty much everyone around here uses the default name. So its a bunch of "ARRRIS_xxxx", "Netgear_xxxx", and the occasional "LASTNAME".

Nothing fun aside from us unfortunately.

My wifi name has been "Not yours" for 12 years

One of my neighbours has a pretty clever one. Michiel de Ruiter is a common Dutch name, so they made it 'Michiel de Router'

No but ive seen one called "hot signals in your area" in zurich airport which gave me a chuckle

Mine is BillWitheScienceFi

I called mine "Gay Lover Paradise" and just get angry looks lol

I've been using "Riri Wifi et Loulou" for more than a decade. It's a pun on the french names of Huey, Dewey and Louie (it's supposed to be Riri Fifi et Loulou).

"shout 'penis' for password"

“The password of [neighbour’s SSID] is [embarrassing password]”

Or some such. Not sure if it was the real password, but soon after everyone was doing it to one another and it got people super confused.

No, but my guest wifi password is "illnevertell"

Router? I hardly know her!

NSA_Van_#

Not NSA Van

Lived in an apartment complex a while back. Found an SSID while setting up my network, Ebony3HoleEnjoyer. Never found out who dunnit.

A lot of peeps have their name or "x family" But I see "YouShallNotPass" Right now mine are "Not Connected" and "No Internet"

I named mine to reflect the local police force and my neighbours kind of went quiet.

I've joked about "fourwordsalluppercase" but my wife would murder me.
