Share via

Gone are the days of boring Wi-Fi network names like "Home Network" or "Linksys." Nowadays, people are getting more creative and humorous with their Wi-Fi names. If you want to join in on the fun, here are some tips on how to come up with funny Wi-Fi names for your home network.

The guidelines

Before we jump into the tips, here are a few things to keep in mind when coming up with funny Wi-Fi names:

  • Keep it clean: Avoid using any profanity or offensive language.

  • Keep it short:  As most devices limit the number of characters for Wi-Fi network names, try to keep it under 32 characters.

Send a message to your neighbors

If you want to get your neighbors' attention with your Wi-Fi name, consider making a joke or pun about them. Just make sure it's all in good fun and not offensive. Try these:

  1. "No parking in front:” For the neighbor taking your spot.

  2. "Password: Ask us first:” For neighbors always asking for Wi-Fi.

  3. "Get off my lawn!" Sometimes, you gotta be direct.

Use humor to express yourself

Your Wi-Fi network name can also be a way to show off your personality or sense of humor. One of the easiest ways to come up with a funny Wi-Fi name is by using puns or wordplay. Here are some examples to get you started:

  1. No cash, just Wi-Fi: Emphasizing the preference for digital payments over cash transactions.

  2. FBI Van: A lighthearted reference to the common joke or meme about an unmarked van being an FBI surveillance vehicle.

  3. No connect LOTR: A witty play on words, indicating a lack of connection or understanding to the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) series.

Try word play

  1. Small World Web: Disney lovers and pun enthusiasts.

  2. All Your Bandwidth: A play on the popular phrase.

  3. Wi-Fight for Party: Who doesn't love a Beastie Boys reference?

  4. Last Wi-Fi Bender: For "Avatar: The Last Airbender" fans.

  5. LANdo Calrissian: For Star Wars fans.

Incorporate pop culture references

Pull inspiration from your favorite TV shows, movies, or books to come up with a clever Wi-Fi name. For example, you could use "Winternet Is Coming" if you're a fan of "Game of Thrones." If you love "The Office," you could name your network "Wi-Fi-Scranton" or "Dunder-Mifflin Internet."

  1. The LAN Before Time - Networking adventures

  2. Silence of the LAN - Internet connection suspense

  3. House LANnister - Intriguing power plays
