What most people get wrong with funny WiFi names
- Going too far. A name that's rude or mean is the first thing the whole street sees. Kind and silly always lands better.
- Trying to scare people. Fake virus warnings or spooky surveillance names can worry neighbors. Skip them.
- Sharing personal details. Leave out your last name, apartment number and any hint at your password.
- Using a weak password. A funny name is fine. A funny password like "password" is not.
