I have come upon some funny router names when searching for a WiFi signal on my iPhone and decided to screenshot a few. Post up if you have any!
LOL the first guy "don't even" had no security on his WiFi network for some reason so I hopped on it a few times and after a week or so later he changes it to
"DON'T EVEN!!!1" and finally added network security. I would like to say that I actually helped the guy get some security :p

Changing the name of my router

I need to work out how to change mine. At the moment I think it's just the default 'TalkTalkac564'. Does this give anything away security-wise? We have the default password as well but it's different for every router and it's not just something like 'TalkTalk123'. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Living in a student village means that I sometimes come across things like this...

My SSID isn't broadcast but the rest of the house broadcasts theirs...

I don't have a screenshot but on a walk to my car after work I saw an open WiFi network named "titsandtrucks". Guy had his priorities down.

Too lazy to post a picture from my iPod or MBP, but it's called "Project Badass."

Any It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans in the house?
