My 5gHz is “Hot Signals in Your Area.” My 2.4gHz is “Mediocre Signals in Your Area.”
But technically the signal strength of 2.4 goes farther than 5, so this one hurts my brain. Perhaps because when I think mediocre signals... I think mediocre signal strength. 🤷🏽♀️
Speed over strength. It doesn’t need to go further, just faster.
It confuses the hell out of Macs and some Linux stuff refuses to connect.
I had Zoidberg "(\/)(,;;,)(\/)" for awhile. And, yeah, not all devices liked that.
Our neighbors grow weed, so my brother set one up as DEA Surveillance Van.
Had one named "FBI Surveillance Van #3". I know, not so creative even 10-years ago, but read on.
Guy at the end of the street sold weed. He was telling my neighbor to be on the lookout, there was an FBI van cruising around. Being at the end of the street, my signal faded in and out like it was moving. Dude was freaked the fuck out.

Router I hardly know 'er
5G Covid Test Tower 37692b
Visited a CeX store.
Their locked, employee-only Wi-Fi: Protected CeX
Their open public WiFi: Unprotected CeX
Mine is "GetOffMyLAN". Then one of my neighbors changed theirs to "GetOffMyLan69". I'm not even mad.
From Auntie Donna's Big 'ol House of Fun, "pretty fly for a WiFi"
Lol! Lookie what I just found:
I went with "Encrypted for Your Pleasure".
Hide your kids, hide your wi-fi.
One of my older ones was "WeDontHaveWifi" because people would say "what's your wifi?" and we would tell them that and sometimes they would say "ohh, ok" and not ask for the password, haha. Password, incidentally, was "whatPassword?"
TellMyWifiLoveHer
I once saw one in my apartment building called “f-u-Mike” and I’ve always wondered which Mike in the building the owner was mad at and why
The geology dorm at my university had one called "geology rocks", always made me chuckle.

I work for an ISP. I got you fam.
I can't think of more right now, but I see many every work week.
"CovidVaccineActivation5G"
My sister had me name the wi-fi extender as "Papa John's Pizza and Abortions". My mother's side of the family is Catholic. We're still waiting for one of them to notice it

On an unsecured, password free hotspot.

"All my neighbours are cunts"
Panic at the Cisco is up there for me.
I use "Router? I hardly know her!" for my 5Ghz, "Tell Your Wifi Say Hi!" for my 2.4Ghz
I've been using Ermagherd Hertspert for years. Still makes me chuckle once in a while.
Heads up that there are ways to look up locations for access point ESSIDs. You can basically narrow it down to an address. If you share a neighbor's ESSID also, it greatly helps ensure that they have the right address.
Been using WuTangLan for quite awhile. When I started splitting 5ghz and 2.4, we added MyWiFiFu.
One of my favourites is from a movie!
