When you’re online, the last thing you want is an intruder on your WiFi network. Cybersecurity is a must, whether for your home or your office. Regardless, who said you couldn’t have a bit of fun while you name your router?
We’ve all seen some funny WiFi names that are both tasteful and make you chortle – but what WiFi name to choose for yourself? Here are 45 of the funniest and most clever WiFi names for your place and the best way to keep your network secure.
Before You Start Changing Your WiFi ID
Whether you’re interested in funny and clever WiFi names, it’s important to remember never to compromise the security of your access points. There are several ways to do it.
For starters, ensure that your WiFi password is both unique and hard to figure out for people but easy to remember for you. Never use any numbers or words that refer to personal information, including your bank accounts, birthdays, etc.
To make a password easier to remember, a common security process is to use three to four words that mean something to you and follow a mnemonic device. Using four specific words unrelated to each other offers more password entropy than even using random capital letters and numbers that are hard for you to remember.
You should also ensure that you enable network encryption on your router, which is usually WPA2. This helps keep your security robust without losing your personal information.
How To Change Your WiFi Name
To change the name of your WiFi network (also known as SSID, or Service Set Identifier), you need to enter your router’s admin page. Depending on your router, the admin page is usually on an IP address or accessible through an app.
You can find out how to access your router’s admin page with the user manual. Usually, the router admin IP address is available on the sticker below the router itself. Once you enter it on the browser, you must enter the admin username and password.
For first-time users, the router will likely ask you to set your admin ID and password as a safety precaution. If it does not, it’s best to change these details, too, as the default accounts are the same across the entire router model. Someone with access to your WiFi can change your admin details and hijack the router.
Once you do the change, you need to access your account information, including your SSID name. Change the SSID name with the funny WiFi name of your choice and change the password.
