What's the strangest Wi-Fi name you've ever seen? 😮

#watercooler #discuss

This weekend, I went to my aunt's home. Being the obnoxious techie that I am, the first thing I said when I stepped into the house was this:

"What's the Wi-Fi name and password?"

My 10-year old cousin came running to me and, with great pride, she said, "The Wi-Fi name is YouWillBeHacked. I chose this name, you know."

I connected to the Wi-Fi. Thank God I wasn't hacked. 😂

Sarcasm aside, I've been curious since then. What is the strangest or maybe even the coolest Wi-Fi name you've ever come across? 🤨

Let everyone know!

Every single one of these made me chuckle lmao.

Now that I'm seeing this again, I would love to set up a fake WiFi network named "Enter at own risk" and connect it to a Raspberry Pi that directs all network traffic to a jump scare image or video stored locally.

If I had a Pi and extra router on hand, I totally would do this. Lol 😆

Was at a coffee shop and saw the network name "Tell my Wifi Love Her" which was definitely good for a chuckle.

Utkarsh Talwar • Aug 5 '20

Avalander • Aug 5 '20 • Edited on Aug 5

Haven't seen it first hand, but someone on the internet posted an image with something similar to this Mum, click here.

Can't decide if this is cute or funny! :p

Mine's "turn down that metal!" ...so that i would have undeniable evidence, that it's not me forcing all neighbours to listen to metal.

Elliot Derhay • Aug 5 '20

Completely and totally undeniable 😆

Utkarsh Talwar • Aug 4 '20

JOEY DOESN'T SHARE WIFI!
Quite old but this did make me chuckle when I first saw it...

Szikszai Gusztáv • Aug 5 '20

I have a similar one on my list: CasadeJoey :D

Pavol Pidanič • Aug 4 '20 • Edited on Aug 4

Once I saw: "Konšpiračný byt" (In Slovak). Could be translated as conspiracy apartment. It was a joke related to Slovak political corruption scandal Gorilla

My guest wifi is now "5G-Corona-Pole" (actually "5G-Corona-Mast", because I'm from Germany).
My real Wifi is called WOA-LAN (WOA -> Wacken Open Air)
The legacy 2.4GHz Wifi is of course called OBI-WLAN-KENOBI.

One of my neighbours called his wifi "Karl-Singel-30cm". Yes, he misspelled 'single'...

Klaus Baldermann • Aug 4 '20

don't remember the exact wording, translated it would be "you won't come in"
not yet seen in the wild, but bet it is in use somewhere: You Shall Not Pass!
several friends had their SSIDs refer to "Messwagen" (radio/emission measuring vehicle)

Pierre Bouillon • Aug 4 '20

Mine is "FBI Tacos Van", always fun to see this name pop in the crowded area of my university !

Ben Halpern • Aug 4 '20

This is a good evolution on the "FBI Surveillance Van" wifi trope

Me: What's the wifi password?
Bartender: You need to buy a drink first.

Me: Okay, I'll have a coke.

Bartender: Is Pepsi okay?

Me: Sure. How much is that?

Bartender: $3.

Me: There you go. So what's the wifi password?

Bartender: You need to buy a drink first. No spaces, all lowercase.

When I visit Sydney for the first time, the first network I found was named "it hurts when I pee"

You can use emoji in your wifi name :)
Such "My wifi rocks 🦄"

ItsASine (Kayla) • Aug 5 '20

Some older devices have issues with emoji in SSIDs though :( My networks are Galaxy News Radio and Radio New Vegas, and I used to have the radio emoji but things like the Logitec Harmony Hub and the Wemo Smart Plug couldn't find them.
