Why Should You Name Your WiFi? 

Coming up with any great name, especially a funny one, for a tiny electronic device might seem like such a waste of time sometimes! However, there are good reasons as to why you should choose one of the best WiFi network names from this list and give them to your router: 

  • Identification — this one’s a no-brainer, really! Giving your WiFi a name allows you and your friends to find it easier;
  • Security — custom names add an extra layer of security by not disclosing router manufacturer details right away;
  • Privacy — naming your router might prevent you from accidental connections to neighboring networks;
  • Troubleshooting — a WiFi name might ease the process of diagnosing and fixing connectivity issues;
  • Organization — if you have several WiFi networks for different purposes, then naming them might make it easier to manage them;
  • Fun — and last but definitely not least, plain old fun! Choosing a badass WiFi name can be a fun process both for you and anyone who’ll see the name pop up on their WiFi list.

What Should You NOT Name Your WiFi?

Now that you know the do’s of naming your WiFi, you might also be interested in learning the don’ts of picking the best WiFi network name. We have some pointers on that, too:

  • Personal information — always avoid using personal information in naming your WiFi. That includes your name, address, and any other personal info.
  • Inappropriate language — using offensive language on your WiFi name might, well, offend your neighbors. And nobody likes that!
  • Password hints — make sure you’re not giving up any details on your WiFi password in its name. 
  • Long and complicated names — such a name might be hard to remember and type when you’re in a hurry to connect. 
  • Unintentionally offensive names — be mindful of such occurrences, as your new badass WiFi name can be misunderstood or misinterpreted.
