In a crowd of basic Wi-Fi names, why not stand out?
Changing your default router name to something more memorable is both fun and practical. It might even make a stranger’s day when they see your witty Wi-Fi name!
The best part is that you don’t need to rack your brains trying to come up with internet puns — just consult our handy little list. We have collected 100 funny Wi-Fi names.
Trust us, you’re not ready.
Before we get started:
Pun-allergic readers should proceed with caution. The following section contains an unholy amount of LAN, IP, modem, and Wi-Fi wordplay.
You have been warned.
What better way to kick things off than with some effortlessly cool router names? These ideas have earned a spot on our list of best Wi-Fi names because they’re just slightly different from all the others.
See for yourself:
We’ve all happened to be in the range of hotspots that were so amusing (or bizarre) that we had to screenshot them.
How about you get a screenshot-worthy network ID?
Here’s our fine selection of Wi-Fi jokes, to give you some ideas:
You can always make your SSID a charming reference to some of your favorite books, movies, video games, etc. Show off your love, if you’re part of major fandoms like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Harry Potter. You can also show support to smaller (but just as sweet!) communities.
Let us inspire you with some of the best Wi-Fi names for true nerds:
Who says your network ID can’t display your wit? As always, you can think outside the box — you’re not bound to use obvious LAN-related puns.
So, if you prefer dry humor, take a look at those great Wi-Fi names:
So, you came up with the perfect funny Wi-Fi idea. Now what?
It’s time you edit your network name (also known as Service Set Identifier or SSID).
The first thing you need to know is your router’s IP address. You can easily find it by clicking on the Properties of your connected network. You need the thing listed next to “IPv4 address”.
Now, enter it into your browser, and you’ll gain access to your router’s admin page. Log in and make your way to the Settings page.
Finally, look for your router’s current name (it will be under SSID, Wireless Network Name, or just Router Name). Once you find it, type in your favored funny Wi-Fi name. Don’t forget to save your changes.
And that’s it!
It might not look like it, but making up hilarious SSIDs is hard work. The seemingly stupider the joke, the more thought went into it!
But it’s worth the effort. Even trivial little things like wireless network names can add some spice to your life. And you get to make somebody’s day!
A Wi-Fi name, or SSID, is the identifier you look for when you’re trying to connect to your network. It distinguishes your wireless network from all the other ones. You are free to customize it at will.
Naming your Wi-Fi hotspot is a fairly simple process:
The best one is something that you can recognize at a glance. Oh, and ideally, it should make you grin just thinking about it. No, really! Just make sure not to divulge any personal info in your funny Wi-Fi names.
When picking names for your wireless router, make it easily recognizable. You should also avoid:
