My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.

My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.

Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?

    Just a note since google maps your SSID: To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with “_nomap.” For example, if your SSID is “12345,” you would change it to “12345_nomap.”

    And probably not a good idea to publish your SSID if you don’t want your location known because of things like this https://wigle.net/

    Years ago my local firefighters were setting up a wifi setup that went across the town for them to use, so we named our wifi after theirs, about a week later we get a knock on the door asking us to change it because the firefighters around me couldn’t connect to their network.

    Not sure how they found out it was us, I think someone ratted us out.

    I just use the same standard, boring name I got with my router 10 years ago and I change it to be the same with each new router. Because I’d rather be fucked in the ass than update my 100 devices to connect to a new wifi.
