Mine has been Short Circuit for years now. Goes along with my user name.

Maybe I should change it up.

Mine is just called Mordor. Most of my local servers are LOTR places, so I just stuck with that. I also have an open network called "test" for guests, it's on a separate vlan that has very limited access to basic internet ports only and zero access to my local network. I should probably name it something more clever.

This wasn't on my home wifi, but using a portable hotspot, I used a name of a co-worker I wasn't fond of for _____'s Porn Server.

Said employee got a bit of a talking to.

Mine used to be "FREEINTERNET", and unsecured. Came back from vacation, and some torrent bastid had found it and was using it. So much so, I couldn't even use my own DSL connection.

Sorry people, abuse the resource, and you lose it. Had to lock that shit down.

Thankfully, didn't get any DMCA notices in the mail from my ISP, for whatever whomever was trying to torrent.

Does that outcome surprise you? Just wait to you find out they were looking at kiddie porn or something too. Creating a completely open guest network with no controls at all is just asking for trouble.

I used to change mine to "I need to sleep" when the downstairs neighbors were being noisy at night.

Usually it's just called Linksys 2 / Linksys 5 (for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). Haven't come up with anything more imaginative.
