Tips and Tricks for Coming Up With a Funny Wi-Fi Name

Coming up with a truly great Wi-Fi name isn't easy, but it is possible. Check out the tips below for some help getting the ball rolling.

Be Unique, but Not Too Over the Top

We all love a clever internet invention, but don't make things too complicated. Stick to short, simple names that are easy to pronounce. Remember, you're going to want to keep this information top of mind and easy to access for your visitors. Pop culture references and punny titles typically work well here.

Avoid Offensive or Inappropriate Terms

It's your network and your decision, sure. But you also don't want to alienate or offend the people living around you. Don't forget, these names are discoverable by neighboring networks. You don't know who they belong to, and what their limits may be.

Don't Include Any Personal Information

Again, this information is public. You don't want to include any personal information, such as names, birthdays, or street addresses. While these things are easy to remember, they also leave you vulnerable to individuals who may use this information in ways other than you intended.

FAQ

How can you change your WiFi network name?

To change your WiFi network (also known as your network SSID, or service set identifier), follow the steps listed below:

• Find your router's IP address
• Open your web browser
• Type the IP address into the search bar and hit "Enter"
• Sign in with your existing username and password (this is not the same as your WiFi username and password)
• Click on "Wireless" or "SSID settings"
• Type in your new network name and password
• Apply and save

What does "WiFi" mean?

Contrary to popular belief, "WiFi" is not actually an acronym. Though many believe it stands for "wireless fidelity," the term was introduced to replace its original title: IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence. It was selected by a branding firm hired by the WECA back in 1999, in part due to its similarity to "Hi-Fi," or high fidelity.

Can I name my WiFi anything?

Network names cannot exceed 32 characters. Beyond that, there are very few restrictions in place on what you decide. However, you should avoid using vulgar or offensive terminology. It may not be illegal, but it can create a lot of bad blood with your neighbors.
