When even leaving a note is too direct…you folks with wireless networks still named “linksys” or “trendnet” are clearly missing out on a priceless opportunity to pi$$ off your neighbors.

Kind of funny and humorous. The language is a bit rough, so be warned.

I've been thinking of renaming mine to "VirusTestNetwork", but I don't broadcast my SSID anyway, so it would be a waste.

I think I'll name mine "NSA wireless interception".

Or maybe "Obama #$(#(@ @(#*@(*( !(*!(@*(!~"

The imagination runs wild.

I suppose something like “DangerousComputerVirus” would keep your nosy neighbors from leaching your open WiFi bandwidth. :)

This is pretty good. I can pick up my neighbor’s router and he’s about 500 feet away. Until about six months ago it was unsecured.

I do the same thing, but I do have an old, unused Linksys WRT sitting around that I could have some fun with.

I tell people to name theirs names to discourage use.

Here are some SSIDs I know people have used after my suggestion:

“Illegal Wireless Use Detected”
“NJ STATUTE Violation 4.C1-23E.”
“NJ State Police Repeater 43”
“Illegal use”
“NOT CONNECTED”
“WEAK SIGNAL”

Etc.

Oh I’m inspired! Ours is named after our cat right now but I know I can do better. And I CAN hear them having sex (sigh).

I know a college student that needed to setup an unsecured wireless network (his reason didn’t make sense to me, but he said he needed to do it.)

He called it “Virus Distribution Test”.

Yeah, I don’t broadcast my SSID either.

And yes, I’ve changed the name of my wireless network.

Which reminds me, I need to add a firewall between my wireless router/firewall and my main network.

I’m paranoid that way.
