Hilarious WiFi names that will confuse your neighbours

Your home WiFi network name can be whatever you want. I mention this mainly because the majority of networks I scan seem to have the manufacturer default name.

However, for every HUAWEI-5356, there's someone out there who dared to dream bigger, someone who put in the work to come up with a WiFi name worth remembering.

From pop culture to history to being downright silly Some of the best WiFi network names around fall into a number of categories, like Troy and Abed in the Modem.' It brings an instant smile for every Community fan and if they're not a fan of Community why are you allowing them to use your Internet? Send them back to the swamp from which they came.

How about something with a historical twist, such as James Wilkes-Bluetooth,' the guy that killed that president with the too-big hat, Abraham Linksys.'

Maybe you're excited about the new series of Game of Thrones, then how about renaming your WiFi network A Lannister always surfs the net or Winternet is Coming'.

If you're more of geek, there's always Occam's router' or I am the internet AMA'. And for the cinema fans, you could try Silence of the LAN' or One does not simply log into Mordor'.

Still, sometimes we're just feeling a little silly, so what if our WiFi network was called It burns when IP' or Router? I hardly knew her!' Or perhaps even Ermahgerd, Wi-Fi!'

How to change your WiFi network name If any of these WiFi network names speak to your soul, run to your router now and turn it upside down where you'll most likely see instructions for logging into your device. Once in there, you should probably change your admin password and keep it in a safe place. Just an idea use it don't, don't use it.

After you've optionally changed your password, there's really no good reason not to change your router name. Just click on all the tabs until you find the one that has your network name.

Change that sucker, save it, restart the router and laugh maniacally as you unleash your wit on the world.
