Great story inbound!

Named my router FBI Surveillance Van #3 back in 2015 or so. Thought nothing of it.

Next door neighbor told me the weed dealer at the end of the block was losing his mind, asking if neighbor had seen the van on his wi-fi! Best part, the weed man was just far enough away for the signal to fade in and out, like a roving vehicle. No one ever told him. 😆

EDIT: Long as I'm doing dumb tech stories...

Printed one of those "voice activated printer" signs for the company printer. Figured someone would have a giggle. Walking by, I caught my co-worker yelling, "PRINT! PRINT! Damn you! PRINT!" and giving the printer the evil eye. She was not amused. At all.

Mine is named "Searching..."

It's caught a few friends out

My Wi-Fi is named “Tell My Wi-Fi Love Her”

My 5GHz: Hot Signals In Your Area

My 2.4GHz: Mediocre Signals In Your Area

Seen crazy brilliant shit at DefCon trying to remember..,

• Rick Astley lyrics on like 6 different APs : Never_gonna_giveyouup / neverGonnaRunAround / etc
• Remote-Detonator
• FBIvan
• FreeOktaTokens

Buddy had one of those barely FCC compliant wifi "debugger" boards, so for a while we actually had an entire armada of FBI surveillance vehicles, vans, and a helicopter on every 2.4ghz channel lol.

I dont know if fake SSID advertisements really impede actual stations, but it was pretty funny seeing 15 SSIDs coming from a single, almost thumbstick size board.

I read one where the wifi password at a bar was "YouGottaBuyADrinkFirst." So... customers would ask for the password, then buy a drink, then ask for the password again and be like "oh... you crafty bastard."

My sister had me set the name for the Wi-Fi extender as "Papa John's Pizza and Abortions." For the record, my mother's side of the family are mostly hardcore Catholics.

(I think I mentioned this once before on a similar thread.)

Every neighborhood has a FBI Surveillance Van and a Pretty Fly For A WiFi, just like every marina has a boat named Seas The Day and Wet Dream

A friend used to have ItHurtsWhenIP

Mine is "The LAN Before Time"

It's fun learning which firmware breaks when trying to deal with it

Somewhere in my vicinity is "Wu Tang Lan" And mine is called "mum look I got internet"

My best friend named his "Bill Wi The Science Fi"

FBI Surveillance Van used to be nearby. Not around anymore.

Got a singleconnect close.

I enjoy when ever I see a "Wu Tang lan"

My neighbor's is "a series of tubes"

ICanHearYouHavingSex was in a friend’s building

That's what she SSID

Mine is "Get Off my LAN!".

Wi-fi is a wireless connection, hence the "wi" part, but sending wireless signals is not new - smoke signals are another option, so my network is the full name: Wireless fireless.

My sister's network is named:

Ce n'est pas un réseau

I've carried over Silence of The LANs to multiple routers for so many years now. An old favourite.

One of mine is:

NSA Surveillance Vehicle #2

Obi Wlan Kenobi

Milutin Miwlanković

The usual ones being House Lanister and Martin Router King.

I'm keen on my own: NecromancerGlitterPonies

My guest wifi is “OpenWiFi” and the key is “iwillnotgiveyouthepassword”

In college I always named my router Skynet.

Pretty Fly For A WiFi

One of my neighbors is The_Booty_Warrior. My hypothesis is that's the pear-shaped Army chick that lives across the street, but it might be the balding middle aged family man two doors down.
