LOL, that's pretty funny.

My AP's name is "SouthBedroom", which is a holdover from Portland. It's not even in the bedroom anymore.. lol

Mine says that I am sarcastic.
I am a network n00b and always struggle setting it up or when it "hiccups"
I call it "turnkey".
It is anything but.

Mine is "N Router" as I named it when I had my old G router running also, which has since been taken out of the mix.

Brilliant, right?

Viti Levu

Because I have a fascination with Fiji even though I haven't been there. I've done Hawaii, which I guess is close.

mine is "rome", because the computers are all named after the hills of Rome -- palatine, capitoline, aventine, caelian, viminal.

Years ago I had to do a wireless survey as part of an advanced wireless class driving around capturing info from a given surrounding area of a building. Some of the names we picked up were fucking hysterical, even more so that we had to print them exactly as they appeared and discuss particular points of interest. I had to write a couple page report about an AP named 'shnackinontatties'

Mine is:

NoWeCant (in response to neigboring network "YesWeCan"

I'm also thinking of changing it to

2_Girls_1_Router

or of course "Goatse" or "Tubgirl" just to watch people run out of their houses when their curiosity gets the better of them.

As a mod to Tobolo's name you could do TitsOrGTFO
