Well the theme is Federation ships - and technically DS9 doesn't qualify as a ship. Yes I'm a dork.

My main Wifi is "Infinite Improbability Drive" and the guest wifi is "Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster".

I wonder if any of the neighbors get that these are Douglas Adams references, or do they just think it's random strangeness.

I change it to "Marvin the Paranoid Android" sometimes, too.

The name of my router in my college apartment was "Father O'Mally's Pornocopia". Cue about 5 months worth of awkward smoke break conversations with neighbors wondering who was demented enough to come up with such a terrible router name and some dumb girls legitimately wondering if a possible child molesting priest was living in the complex.

I miss that fucker of a router. It was fun as gently caress to listen to one of our rear end in a top hat roomates scream in nerd-goon rage when his connection to Eve Online would die because one of us would be banning/unbanning his MAC address, or just randomly resetting the thing.

My SSID used to be "Black Magic" because it would work (or not) for any given room of the house depending on a set of circumstances I never understood. Then I upgraded the router and now it consistently works everywhere, so it's "WIFIght the inevitable?"

I created an extra SSID "Surveillance van 7" and I enable it and disable it every so often, sometimes changing the number. It hosed with my friend for a bit, but he's a weirdo.

I'm pretty boring in general but my ssid at home is "that-network" ; my fiance stopped me from using "gently caress-off".

One demo I setup we went with a wu-tang naming scheme:

* the firewall was the gza -- it forms like voltron and he is the head
* one WAP / SSID was method-man because there are mad methods to the way we do our poo poo
* the backup WAP / SSID was ghostface because he is on some now you see me now you don't poo poo

There were some others I've since forgotten.
