My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.

My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.

Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?

    My phone hotspot is “Starbucks Free Wi-Fi” passworded of course.

    My home is “Router? I hardly know her!”

    A great password to use is “thepasswordtowhat”.

    Friend: Hey whats your wifi password?

    Me: thepasswordtowhat

    Friend: Your wifi

    Me: What about it?

    Friend: WHATS THE PASSWORD?

    Me: thepasswordtowhat

    Friend: Frustrated noises.

    I know a guy in college whose dorm ended up with a wifi naming theme. Someone (highly suspected to be the passive aggressive super religious fundie on the floor above) changed their wifi name to “Stop, we can all hear you having sex”

    So naturally, someone changed theirs to ‘I can hear you NOT having sex’

    at that point it was on lol.

    One of my friend’s neighbors named their wifi “is this the Krusty Krab?”

    Of course he named his, “no, this is Patrick”

    Since OpenWRT supports special characters in wifi names, mine is (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    It fucks with older wifi chips but most modern stuff connects just fine

    Neighbors at my old apartment had KKK as their network name. They were huge pieces of shit who knew I could hear everything through the walls, so they would have entire conversations about me with slurs every other word. They were also armed, and talked about their guns constantly (again, knowing I could hear everything). Imagine laying in bed at 3am trying to get some sleep before a 7am meeting, and having to listen to two racist assholes literally yell through the walls just to harass me and make sure I couldn’t fall asleep.

    Living there was so stressful.

    All my neighbors are lame but I have two routers, giving me a total of six SSIDs to play with. So I have wifi names like “Trump Fucks Kids”, “Charlie Kirk was a Literal Nazi”, and “Where are the Epstein Files”?

    In my last apartment I had mine set to “FBI Surveillance Van 9” and a neighbor set theirs to “Suspicious Drug Den”. Before that several of us changed to variations of “Library Wifi Ext #” to pick on the Librarian next door. Outside of those, my favorite was “Need a Wifi password?” With the password set to “WhyNotZoidberg?” I had the meme printed on the fridge and everything.
