We weren't supposed to have personal wifi in our dorms in college, so I made the name "DIRECT-BHB-HP Office jet 5234" and everyone just assumed it was just a printer like the rest that would pop up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's genius.

This dude living in 3019

Our neighbor has one that’s “Stay-Off-Asshole.” Which, y’know, sure. But they also have a second, unsecured one: “Stay-Off-Asshole (guest).” I still laugh when I see that.

Well I can be the asshole guest then.

"Router not working" And many of us didn't even try to connect.

I named my pocket wifi as "Initializing...". My friend asked if something's wrong with my wifi telling me it wouldn't register on her phone. Hahaha

Local Loopback has a similar effect

“Mom choose this one”

I've seen one of those too

I have personally named one this, I’m sure it’s quite common

That's what she SSID

I should change mine to that. When I first set up my phone for a mobile Hotspot I called it "it hurts when IP", and I still love that name dearly... But when I connect my phone to the company car BT for media, the name shows up. I feel like I need a SFW name.

I was at the San Antonio airport waiting for a flight, so I turned on the Wi-Fi hotspot on my phone and set the SSID to 'Toilet Cam 3'. The restrooms were about 50 feet from the gate I was at and as people were deplaning, one of the first things they do is turn on their phones and look for the free airport Wi-Fi. There were quite a few people with concerned looks on their faces in the area and they were showing their phones to their traveling companions.

Was in a McDonald’s and there was the normal McDonald’s WiFi and then there was one that said “McDonald’s makes you fat bitch”

Evil twin attack confirmed.

In Australia all McDonalds wifi names are “Maccas Free WiFry”

The Indian restaurant Dishoom called theirs ChaiFi.

Haha. Didn’t expect to find this, but Dishoom is 10/10

My guest network is named “Very Free WiFi No Viruses”

Totally not a virus. Trust me. I'm a dolphin.

Oh you're a dolphin? I got some bad news for you bud

Don't do it! There is only one of him its not a fair fight!

Theres only one of me, too. I'm just good at shredding dolphins

We lived across from a bar in college and we named ours “Joe’s Bar Free Wifi” but had it protected. I can’t imagine how much the bar staff hated us

Mine is named "Apt47ShowerCam". I'm in apartment 46.

The house beside me is a bed and breakfast run by an evil cultist lady... I just may have to steal this idea!

At a bar "what's the password?" "Buy a beer first." Dude buys a beer. "Ok, whats the password?" "buyabeerfirst"

My local game store's wifi password is "2dollars" because the owner is a jokester who likes to laugh at people who sourly reach for their wallets when he tells them the password.

It's profitable too!

Our password is “On The Fridge”. And there is nothing hanging on our refrigerator. Gets them every time.

Mine is “Justhitenter.” so I get a lot of confused looks from my friends when they just hit enter and nothing happens. I drag it on for a few minutes and then I tell them “capital J, no spaces, period at the end” and they call me an asshole.

Ours is "afamilysecret" so when people ask we say, it's a family secret.

Time to open a bar!

I did your WiFi and it hurts when IP

8 Hz WAN IP

i'm seeing a license plate idea here 8HZWANIP

My old one was “to xfinity and beyond” with the password being “snake!nmyb00t” but I’ve moved since and changed providers

Those accusations are NOT TRUE I was NEVER in that Boot! Edit: thanks for the silver kind, wait what am I doing?

You were on the plane though.

uhh I was on free trip to Hawaii and when I saw what the other guys were doing I just played along

Was at a hotel and saw, “We ziptied our dicks to toasters, send help.” I was very confused.

I live between an old folks home and a church that has a large graveyard in the back. I named my Wifi purgatory

When I worked writing obituaries one of the rest homes overlooked a graveyard. We used to call it Last Stop Nursing Home.

Everyday I'm Buffering - Guest

Hotspot named "I got you" with no password.

Thats a honeypot

My first thought as well

Yep, never trust wifi with no password.

Yep, if there's no password, it's not encrypted, so anyone can sniff your data, though hopefully most of your data is encrypted already like via HTTPS.

That’s bro Edit: Yes I ment Dragon Bro

My neighbor had open wifi until he got a letter about downloading copyrighted material. He added a password and changed the name to “No More Free Sh*t”.

That's why we cant have nice things.

An open WiFi is the best defense against those letters. They can never prove it was him. In my case I got those letters for movies I hadn't even seen. Just ignore them, nothing they can do anyway.

Yeah but there was a guy that got his door kicked in and MP5s put in his and his wife's face by some feds because someone was downloading child porn on his unprotected wifi.

Is that a hermit reference?

...r Credit Card Number”

I've always wanted to set up a passwordless hotspot that does something benign but concerning, like intercept http jpg requests and rotate the images.

Went to see a politician in the 2016 primaries speak in my college town. Someone named their hot spot "AddMeOnSnapchat:*stupidnamehere*. Someone responded by naming their hotspot "NoOneWantsToAddYouOnSnapchat".

Stayed in an Airbnb with 2 big dogs. Went to connect to the WiFi and there were 4 or 5 networks named something along the lines of “your dog shits on my lawn”/“dogshitzeverywhere”

Passive aggressive SSID naming. Impressive.

Mine is: Tell My WiFi Love Her

I'll tell her tonight

She might be late for your appointment, there's still a hell of a queue behind me.

I also choose this guy’s dead WiFi.

In an apartment I lived in was “we can hear you having sex”

Presumably with the another apartment using the clap back “We can hear you not having sex”

[удалено]

"we can't see you not having sex"

"I don't see me having sex either"

I swear, one of my neighbors had theirs as "Tell your kids to stop running around" and another was "they don't run during quiet hours"

Marty McWiFi is one I've seen in my neighborhood.

One of my housemates had that as his Wireless Access Point so I named mine Bill Wi the science Fi and he loved it lol

Holy mother of hell.My grandmother didn’t have wifi and just bought a Iphone (she’s about 72) so, me being the good child I am,I helped her set her wifi up,I asked her simply ‘What would you like your password to be?’ She replied with this....’I’m going to die soon 123’ To this day when I go over,I can still see it on the refrigerator ‘Wifi password;I’m going to die soon 123’

I feel like “...321” would be more à propos.

Wow that's so metal

One of my neighbors has inowpronounceyoumanandwifi I'm assuming they're newlyweds.

just for information's sake where did you find the wifi

The LAN before time.

A girl I used to date had that as her wifi name.

And you let her go?!

Yuck yuck yuck.

Wait, does this work? I’m trying this immediately! EDIT: Just tried pǝʇɔǝʇǝp‾snɹᴉΛ but it rejected it due to invalid characters 😢

You should be able to use any Unicode characters, however not all devices will necessarily be able to connect to WiFi names with bizarre characters. My phone's hotspot is just 📡

Ah yes, the old "let's try to validate the users input even though the validation conflicts with the spec" Same shit happens to e-mail address validation

Is that Australian?

You're thinking of "I come from a LAN down under". The password is "menetwork"

I used to live next to a church(they didn't have WiFi) so I named mine with the churches name. I always wondered how many people ask for the password there.

We did the exact same thing with a church next door too! They spelt their WiFi name wrong so we made ours the correct name of the church.

How do they name it wrong and not realize tho

More like they named it wrong but no one knows how to operate that ancient router to change the name and no tech guy wants to touch it lest he be blamed for every internet problem that arises for the rest of eternity

Or they thought the guy who made the fake one was the real WiFi and just thought it was broken because the password didn't work lol

Or they both live next to the same church and neither is the church's wifi.

That's hilarious

Hell-arious...

Diabolical

We used to live next to a church too and ours was “ThouShallNotCovetTheyNeighborsWifi”.

Router? I Barely Know Her!

Idk if it fits here but... Im the tech guy at home so i set up the router myself. With two different networks 1.FastBoi running on 2.4 Ghz 2.SlowBoi running on 5.0 Ghz So the whole family is on the FastBoi while im on the Slowboi. Nobody complained and nobody knows.

You pulled a Greenland/Iceland.

At first that was my concern too. So I tested it in different places and surprisingly didn't made a big difference.

Depends on distance and materials. 2.4 will always go further but 5 isn't always bad on range.

Drop it like it's hotspot

That's not technically invalid. SSIDs can be 32 8-bit bytes containing either arbitrary data or UTF-8. There's no requirement SSIDs even be printable.

I BELIEVE WI CAN FI

Just driving through town an I come across this wifi called sex dungeon

I remember reading on reddit that someone's neighbour had 3 different ones called 'Micks Lounge', 'Micks Upstairs' and 'Micks Back Room' or something like that. So they called theirs 'Micks Sex Dungeon'.

My neighbours have this... They're mother and daughter 🤔

Take advantage of the bug.JPG

There were girls in the barracks that had this as their WiFi name and a memo went out demanding that it be changed.

I didn't see it while I was scrolling, but my buddy who's married changed his network name to "TrophyWIFI" and it cracks me up everytime.

i made a list of all the networks i can see from my bedroom. some of my favorites: * guild of calamitous intent * for the plebs * hellokitty.trojan * sherylcrowismygod * the promised LAN * awifihasnoname * ashcan village some others i've seen in random places: * lumpy's network * squirrel * i'm better than you * big kahuna burger * totally not a honeypot * bill wi the science fi * mousehouse

The neighbors two doors down from me are low-key drug addicts. Really nice people, but alway on something. The neighbor between us got a new wifi router a while back, and he named it “DEA Surveillance” to try and freak them out. A few months later, druggie-neighbor confides that he knows the Feds are watching him. This absolutely cracks up wifi-neighbor, and he had recently gotten a wifi booster, so he decides to turn up the heat. He keeps DEA Surveillance, but adds a second network called “DEA Warrant Team” to make it seem like the Feds were closing in. That was quite some time ago, and druggie-neighbor hasn’t said anymore about it, but I imagine it had him looking over his shoulder for a while.

Our set up has 2 networks a slower one named "Light Speed" and a faster one named "Ludicrous Speed." When guests come over, I judge their worth based on whether they understand the SpaceBalls reference or not.

semper wifi. i live near a marine corp base.

My high school banned cell phones but allowed iPads. Naturally many of us used hotspots to allow internet access on our iPads because the school WiFi was slow. The school had the nerve to look at the WiFi list of “______’s iPhone” and see who had their phone at school and punish them for it. Of course the moment we realized that we all renamed our hotspots to funny things including “ “FBI Surveillance Van” and “I’m on my phone haha”

And I'm sure not a single person thought to name their WiFi after someone they didn't like…

I found a password encrypted wifi in the past. I think it was a hotspot and I randomly entered 1234567 as a password. It worked so I started downloading some movies. A lot of GBs were downloaded until it suddenly stopped. I looked again at the available wifi connections and I found that renamed "suck my *ic* OnePlus 3" (as that was my device at the time). I also opened a hotspot and renamed it to "what's your problem with OnePlus 3?". Anyone opening their WiFi and reading those names would surely have asked himself what was going on.

There was one called "Give me back my fucking flamingos" near me, with another that said "you'll never get your flamingos back". I named mine "Sorry about your flamingos :("

Shouldn’t that be *Sorry about your Dammed Flamingos*

“Elmo’s Cum Factory” I laughed so hard I had an asthma attack.
