I named mine OptimumSucks, because of my love for our cable company.
Interesting - In my online bill payer from my bank, I can give a nickname to my payees. Comcast is listed as "Comcast can suck it!"

Geek Squad originally set mine up, naturally on a day I was rushing to get to jobs. When asked what to name it my response was, "I don't care."

My wifi at home is named "Awesome". So, when guests come over and connect to it, they say, "are you Awesome?"
Yes. Yes I am.
Yes. Yes I am.

As a computer security professional at my day job, reading this thread is really alarming. I would be really cautious about the types of wifi networks you connect to, just as a general rule. As an aside, if your network traffic is captured by someone such that it reveals who you're shopping for and who the clients is, who bears the responsibility of that? (<-- not being rhetorical; legitimately asking) Presumably, the traffic is generated in a public place, and if it's an open network with an unencrypted connection, there shouldn't be any expectation of privacy...

Um. Anybody that is smart enough to steal someone's signal over a public wifi to find out who you're shopping for and who the client is (as if they would even know to begin with) is probably not interested in the information in the least bit.

Well, If you don't know who's watching or what they're watching, it's difficult to ascribe a motive. But, I said my piece and won't carry on any further.
The title of the post is "Best WiFi names"------->not your specifically but NAMEs suggestively.

We had a network at our past residence called "Our Neighbors Suck."
Here's an extra credit question. Do you know whose Wifi password is "Penny, get your own Wifi?"

Slightly off topic, but our first ISP was a company called Nothin But.net

I was posted at a Wireless store once for work in the inner city. We all got bored and set up all the display phones as Wifi hotspots. Each one had a LEO name like Police 1, ATF van 2, Narc Unit #4. The end of the day we had all 15 phones going and left them running all week. It was a quiet week in the plaza. Down the street they had a shooting though during a robbery of a pizza store. Glad I am out of that neighborhood now, I have LEO memorial plates and my car got keyed twice.

My wifi at home is called "You bug me". My neighbors won't leave me alone when I get home from work so I told them that I named my wifi after them.
WARNING TECH SPEAK BELOW!
I turn the beacon off, so mine does not broadcast the SSID. Then I set the router to only allow connections from known MAC addresses of my devices. I scanned the neighborhood and all three neighbors are on channel #6. I set mine for channel #11. Then I set the security to WPA2 Personal.
I flashed a custom "Tomato" based firmware by an excellent Polish programmer. It's far better then the well known DD-WRT replacement firmware. The firmware that comes with most home routers is utter trash and has unpatched security holes and factory back doors that are well known. My firmware has a built in TOR client as well a OpenDNS client to encrypt your DNS lookup from the DNS server and to prevent the ISP from snooping on your surfing or injection of false DNS data to send you to a false page.
Best Firmware that is compatible with many routers:

Me thinks you missed the point before. I feel you have some good information to share. Unfortunately you again lost me. Why not just put it into language the untechy can understand?

My router is not hackable. It does not show up when you scan for it. (hidden) It is encrypted and very secure and can be set to be very anonymous. It has many advanced features that are well beyond the scope of any average home user.@LisaSTL wrote:

Is that because of the specific router or something you have done on your end? I'm asking because of purchasing a new router just two months ago. It makes me wonder if there is more I can do to secure my wifi. It's funny I see the names of other networks in my area, but during one of our regular street parties nobody on the block (within six to eight houses either away) had the network names I see and nobody reported being able to see mine.

but you do this for the fun of it and not because you're genuinely concerned that one of your three neighbors, or someone parked out in front of your house, is planning on hacking into your network through your router, right?
Cuz that's a little tin-foil-hatty.

I worked in telecoms for a living and have had Cisco training on advanced configuration. I don't want to be exposed by crap firmware and use the more advanced features. You can install Tomato by Shibby on a $50 router. You don't need to use all the advanced tools. The default settings are 100% secure, unlike 90% of small home routers.

I need range. In all directions. Lots and lots of range. My Time Capsule is old and I can't get signal outside. I'm less concerned with hyper-security since my neighbors aren't close. I just need throughput and range. Pogue just reviewed a new router from Google that's supposed to be pretty impressive.

With the firmware I suggested, you can turn the Transmit power up to almost 2x what the FCC regulations call for. They also have an after market extra high gain antenna for that model router to make it one of the strongest range performers out there.
High gain antennas $14.99

The router is the "Deal of the Day" for $119 instead of $149 today only at Amazon. This is a great price for this router as it will give you years of service as it is not going to be outdated anytime soon with the specifications it has.
