I've also seen "LAN of the Lost"

Reference to the the hard rock casino
My best friend named his "Bill Wi The Science Fi"
My sister had me set the name for the Wi-Fi extender as "Papa John's Pizza and Abortions." For the record, my mother's side of the family are mostly hardcore Catholics.
(I think I mentioned this once before on a similar thread.)
Let me guess, the password is "YourLossIsOurSauce"

Mine is "Get Off my LAN!".
Similar ones I've seen are LAN down Under and LAN before time
Somewhere in my vicinity is "Wu Tang Lan" And mine is called "mum look I got internet"
I would have three, but my router company way oversold their capabilities. Ideally
- WiFi for my devices
- WiFi for “smart devices
- Guest WiFi
Yet somehow my WiFi only allows two and there’s no segmented networks

In college I always named my router Skynet.
TooFlyforAWIFI is mine
Wi-fi is a wireless connection, hence the "wi" part, but sending wireless signals is not new - smoke signals are another option, so my network is the full name: Wireless fireless.
I find it funny that they thought to copy "Hi-Fi" when fidelity isn't really how 802.11 works since it has an entire digital layer, though now I kinda of miss that they dropped it lol.
The usual ones being House Lanister and Martin Router King.
it hurts when IP Obi Wlan Kenobi Milutin Miwlanković
I always want to do it burns when IP or 8 Hz WAN IP but we regularly have guests so I opted for something mundane.
My sister's network is named:
Ce n'est pas un réseau
Non-euro keyboards: YOU SHALL NOT PASS
When was the last time you had to type the SSID?
My home wifi is so weak in my room that my phone doesn't display it in the list, but when I manually add network and type out the SSID and password, it connects.
"Evil Lair"
"Invisible Wire"
Alot of networks around here, the fbi van pops up from time to time, and then 15 generic modem routers and in the middle of that list is "one of many".
I've seen internet not available and drop it like it's hotspot for hotspots but not really anything for WiFi networks yet
