Wi-Fi is part of everyday life at home and at work, but your network name doesn’t have to be boring. A good name makes your network easier to recognize and gives your neighbors something to smile about.
Here are some of my favorite names, from technology puns to movie references. Have one of your own? Share it in the comments.
