[ComedyPilot]

A bloke I know that lives in Bridlington wants to change his to 'stopfeedingthefcukingseagulls'

Good idea ! Then one of your neighbours can name theirs ' No it's not, the best curry can be had here.....********** '

I was having problems with connecting after adding a password, so I removed the password and called it "VirusBot" (or summat like that). Nobody outside the house tried to connect during the time it was 'open'.
All sorted now, though I have given it an Italian name, coz that's the kind of guy I am.

One of my neighbours is called TV detector van.

I was thinking of calling mine...STFU you miserable witch...but the miserable witch wouldnt STFU and it would just give her more to complain about

This is also an excellent pub game!

Switch on Bluetooth, then try and match the names that appear on the search with the customers

I named my white iMac "Dougal" since it looked like a sugar lump, the lap-top I bought off a friend to do my final project on ran a bit slow in comparison so I called it "Brian"

so I called our router ''magic roundabout'' and named my smart-phone ''Brian''

Sky-net.

Unoriginal but I like it

Premium Rate WiFi

I called my old one "Condor" after my bike make but also I liked the idea of data flying through the air.
Current one is "SKYblahblah" - anyone know if you can change those ?

Not with the one that's actually connected to anything, but I've got an old router kicking about I occasionally turn on and swap the SSID on to amuse myself.
I like 'O2 Hotspot'

 

[ianrauk]

my ssid is hidden.. but may switch on and have a bit of fun.
Just checked what wireless is near me. There are 12 listed, 2 are unsecured

No idea you could name your wifi, how do you change it then geeks?

 

[coffeejo]

I confess we used our neighbour's wifi for the duration of our residency in Cardiff...

My neighbours have chosen really boring names for their Wi-Fi networks. One is O2 followed by some fairly random letters and numbers, another is VirginMedia, followed by what looks like it might be a phone number, and I've just picked up another one, which is equally unimaginative.
