One of our neighbours WiFi is called "iLoveKitKats". Always makes me smile 😄

We had one called 'Snapes Potion room' for a long time. DH has since renamed it 'Spaceballs the WiFi router'.

One in my building was 'hot girls' quickly followed by another named 'reasonably attractive girls' which made me laugh

My friend has the classic 'pretty fly for a WiFi'.

Another friend who lived in a small apartment block abroad had 'Free WiFi for Cake' and would exchange the password for baked goods.

I once seriously considered changing mine to 'fuck off peado' but thankfully he'd fucked off himself before I'd built up the gumption. You can't choose your neighbours, but you can advise their landlords they've recently been released from prison for creating indecent images.

If you visit our area, you'll be connecting to The Force.

The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

In my old flat, someone had 'Bowie Is God'

SoundTheSirens · 05/04/2024 08:55

The ones around here are pretty boring, but at our previous house one or other of the neighbours had "ICannaeHoldHerCaptain" which isn't particularly wifi-punny but always made me smile.

ApplePippa · 05/04/2024 08:56

We have DaveandNicolaHome

Not particularly funny, but none of our neighbours are called Dave or Nicola... It's a mystery who these people are...

DS has a theory they live in a secret underground bunker below the street.

Hardlyworking · 05/04/2024 09:04

My car wifi is TV-DETECTOR-VAN

HandsomeJack · 05/04/2024 09:05

My old one used to be named SKYNET surveillance

RainbowZebraWarrior · 05/04/2024 09:15

I've always been tempted to change mine to MI5Surveillance or something, then see who cracks first on the street group chat and asks who it is.

Ours are all really boring, with the house across the road being "TheJonesGang" It makes them sound like the Brady bunch or something. The kids are in their 30s and long since left home.

I have four and one is named something like <insert cute name here> the cat.

No one knows it is my network although I guess they could df it if they were really desperate.

I have had several people ask me about the cat. No one knows which cat it is or where it is. I assume they want to stroke the cute sounding cat. But cannot find it. I deny all knowledge.

Apparently on a local site it has been accused of making a hole in someones fence. Even though it doesn't actually exist.

It's a bit like BigFoot.

Hatsforbats · 05/04/2024 11:00

We have 'Mo's Home WiFi' and also 'I'm shagging Mo's WiFe'.

TickyTacky · 07/04/2024 07:21

Ours is 'WibblyWobblyTimeyWimeyStuff' then I can see, ItHurtsWhenIP & Error404 when I look at nearby connections :)

Northernsouloldies · 07/04/2024 07:25

In a block of flats
Taboo tickle my arse.

PauliesWalnuts · 07/04/2024 07:29

On my cousin’s road there is one called Chorley FM, and on mine, continuing the Star Wars theme is This Is Not The Wifi You Are Looking For.

JustMeAndTheFish · 07/04/2024 09:11

Mine is Worldhopper. I do travel a lot but it is actually a reference to the Brandon Sanderson Cosmere books so chances are no one really gets it.

The second one is bloody genius 😂. I need a new wifi address 😄

BrendaSmall · 07/04/2024 09:16

Hang oh!
how do you rename your WiFi?
I want to change mine 🤣

lemongrizzled · 07/04/2024 09:17

I heard of one recently called The Promised LAN.

Best one I’ve ever seen was in a friend’s building, someone had Wecanhearyouhavingsex

PuzzlingMonkey · 07/04/2024 09:21

My phone detected this apparently well endowed chap’s WiFi at Manchester Airport Starbucks. Looking around, I couldn’t figure out who it was though.

Do you have any funny/unusual WiFi names round your way???
Sunquest · 07/04/2024 09:22

Ours is currently called 'From a Lan down under' DS changes it all the time.

Sauvblanctime · 07/04/2024 12:59

Ours is WuTang LAN

i wanted two girls one hub but my fella said the kids would ask too many questions 🤣

Log in to your router and do it :)

Google it if you're not sure.

I came across one called No Internet Connection a while back, thought it was a good name 😆
