It can be pretty irritating to lose connection to the internet, especially when browsing your favourite sites [1]. But amidst the frustration of being forced to reconnect, a funny WiFi name can put an instant smile on your face. From The LAN Before Time to Abraham Linksys, there is no shortage of clever WiFi names that can be used. Plus, when it's so easy to change your WiFi name, there's no reason not to make it something that will make you smile.
Simply enter your router's IP address into the web browser you use the most, then login as administrator. After that, go to Settings, and find WiFi Name or SSID. From there, enter your new hilariously clever WiFi name. Maybe you want your neighbours to know that you Lag Out Loud, or your WiFi actually belongs to the Police Surveillance Van. Changing your WiFi name to something silly and fun will make anyone within range chuckle.
You can name your WiFi anything you want, but here are a few general rules to keep in mind: Make sure it doesn't include personal information, contain any part of your passwords, and is not too vulgar or offencive.
With all this information on your radar, go forth and name that hotspot something that will brighten someone's day as they connect to the net, or make them think twice before they try to borrow signal from the FBI Unmarked Vehicle. If you need some inspiration, here is a list of WiFi names that will get your creativity flowing.
