Want to entertain, or even better, freak out your neighbors and those busybodies trying to leech off your wireless connection? There’s no better way to do it other than using a silly, funny, or menacing WiFi router name. You can create your WiFi router name, i.e. wireless network name when you’re first setting up your router, but you can also change the name of your existing network. To do this, you should access your web browser and login to your router. You’ll find the URL you should visit at the bottom of your router along with the default username and password. For more details, you can check out PCMag’s useful guide. But enough technicalities - let’s get to the best WiFi router names that we found. We’ve got plenty - for every type of humor and style! If you look close enough, you’ll find something for Harry Potter fans, LOTR fans, Game of Thrones fans, Futurama fans, Star Wars fans, and much more!

One Thing Your Network Name Won't Do

Worth saying clearly, because it comes up a lot: your network name has no effect on security whatsoever. A clever SSID will not keep anyone out, and hiding it barely helps either — hidden networks are trivial to discover and mostly just annoy your own devices. What actually protects the network is WPA2 or WPA3 with a password that is not the one printed on the router.

The name does do one thing, though: it is broadcast to everyone in range, and it is the only part of your setup your neighbours can read. That is an argument for a joke name over "Flat 4B" or "The Robinsons" — a surname and a door number is more than a stranger needs. Some names also get logged into public wardriving maps along with a rough location, so it is worth picking one you would not mind being findable.

And none of it touches the traffic itself. Whatever you call your network, your internet provider still sees every site every device on it connects to, and so does the operator of any network you join elsewhere. If that is the part you actually care about, NordVPN is what covers it — one account encrypts the traffic on every device in the house, which is a rather bigger win than the name above the door.
