Clever names for a wifi network?
Recently, my wifi modem decided to stop working, so I got a new one. Currently, it is called 'CleverName', but I am trying to come up with a better name. Any help would be greatlyappreciated.
Thanks in advance.T R A N S- someone who knows what's up

Virus, no one will want to connect it unless it's you.

Re: Clever names for a wifi network?
I set a home WiFi network up a while back and called it Surprise!
Went back a while ago when internet was down to help troubleshoot. Got a chuckle out of the WiFi tip text displaying:
Surprise!

Re: Clever names for a wifi network?
I think I had neighbors at some point who called it prettyflyforawifi.
Just the fact that you heard that guitar riff when you read it makes it good.Last edited by Lvl 2 Expert; 2017-10-04 at 03:40 PM.

Re: Clever names for a wifi network?
I've seen this before (networks at a friend's house I believe), and was actually coming to the thread to suggest it. Absent that I'm going to have to suggest "Vini, Vidi, Vifi" as my second favorite. Originally Posted by Lvl 2 Expert

I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

Re: Clever names for a wifi network?
Skynet is also an ever popular option, Number 5 or Johnny 5 works better for a vacuum cleaner or other physical robot, but it can work for a wifi. And since I'm giving myself ideas, you could name it Sentient Roomba?

Re: Clever names for a wifi network?
You could go with something like "fie-on-why", I suppose. Sometimes I have trouble with the line between "clever" and "only amusing to me".
Around here several of the the neighbors seem to be naming theirs after their assorted football rooting interests, while another subset is going for Norse gods. Adding to an existing local theme may be worth considering if any of the other network names in your area inspire you. (I now want to name a network "Marco" just to see how long it takes for someone nearby to name theirs "Polo", but I am sadly not in charge of naming our household network.)

Re: Clever names for a wifi network?
Free Public Wifi
If you enjoy "your mom" jokes, you can surely build something from that.
I named my last Wifi "Shangri-La", as in "mythical place you will never get to".
A friend of mine named it "Rohan" and was delighted when he one day noticed a neighbour had renamed his to "Gondor".
