^^ I have an ethernet cable tied to my bed for when the wifi breaks
Not around me but I just found this on FailBlog

epic-fail-wireless-network-fail.jpg

That's a WIN in my book!

The fail is they would rather take a picture of the screen than push command shift 3
 
My old roommates made theirs "Get your own ****ing internet" - it was secured, don't worry 🙂

Around me, the ones I may find amusing are: homey, BonHoff, Star and YJC (use your imagination on that one...Your Jonesing Conan!)

I found this one on FAIL Blog, thought it was funny

I look forward to etherenet'ing my whole house... for all my desktops. But what do you do about laptops and if you want to use one on the couch? Do you have a hookup in your living room? That seems a bit too constricting.

We have 3 desktops no need for a laptop in the house the only rooms without are the kitchen and the can and most of the cellphones here are internet capable. So unless we twitter while eating or dropping a duce what is the point of having a laptop or wifi.
 
Got a few SSID's at home for various uses -

1 - "Belican-N" (pronounced as Bell-e-can) - is my Belkin WIFI guest network
2 - "AppleCore-N" is my Airport Express wifi extender
3 - "WhereBob-N" is my iiNet Belkin BOB ddevice used as NAT/DHCP/Router

I think 3 is more then enought lol, i only pickup 2 other wireless networks around my house - both insecure, with defauklt names such as Linksys and WLAN lol

Hilzy
 
Ours is just named after our dog. The guys next door are Mav & Goose, which cracks me up because I love Top Gun. Not sure who the f$*#ing internet guys are.


Funny, mine was also called oscar until a few months ago, we upgraded our router and now it is Oscar 2.0

All the routers I've set up almost always make reference to a pet.
 
Heres a screenshot of mine... I think Britney Spears and VibeTribe are pretty funny... If i scroll down there is also LadyBug and doucheChomper haha...


BTW: The Britney Spears one.... thats mine, hahahaha. I thought it would be funny for other people to see.

I guess none of my neighbors in the house directly around me don't have wifi, because our network is the only one around 😱
 
This is too funny and I'm forced to resurrect this. 😀 (It's only one month old innit?)

Sometimes these pop up:
WBK-WiFi
DOTA (password: 123456) (It was exactly like that)
Free Public WiFi
Here's around my house. "This Is Not Free" is mine. 😛

"the man nxt door"
 
Wow, old thread!

I was setting up a new network at my church this week, and noticed that someone had put up a wireless network nearby called "There is no god". 😛

I was tempted to name our new network something clever to retaliate, but decided better of it.

Absolute win.
 
One time I was on vacation and found a network named "free internet". The internet worked, but must have been a dial up connection with 20 people using it. when I looked through my webserver logs (when I was looking for the dial up numbers to use) I saw the hostname. It was the free dial up provider I was looking for the number to connect with!
 
i've always named my wireless network "The Opium Den"

"Come In" and "You Wish" were some good ones for free and locked.

i also saw one that said "free internet" that was locked. that was just annoying.
 
"i know you want my vag"
"hahaha go away a**hole"

Mine's whoAreYou

I used to leave mine open until my douchebag neighbor started seriously leaching off of me.

It got so bad, I couldn't even do basic web surfing.

I cut him off once using his Mac address then he installed a new network card. I secured it after that.

The very next day, his kid knocks on the door and asks to use my computer because his is broken. Later I saw my neighbor and offered to come over and check his computer out for him. He turned white and said only his friend can do it because he does all his computer work... Busted... Douchebag!
Jerk!
