EasyBox-34HgkLMNt074, Connect-QW56RT or FRITZ!Box-XY34ZP? The default WLAN names assigned by the operator are neither particularly creative nor easy to remember. It's time to change this: Give your WLAN a unique and funny name now. What's it good for? We'll explain it to you.

We can think of 3 good reasons for a personalized and humorous Wi-Fi name:

Security: The default name of your Wi-Fi could reveal information about the router, which attackers could exploit. A unique name makes it more difficult for hackers to specifically search for vulnerabilities in the known router.

Identification: If several Wi-Fi networks use similar standard names from the manufacturer, it can be difficult to identify your own network, for example if you live in an apartment building. A personalized name makes it easier for you and your guests to find the right network.

Personal touch: A humorous Wi-Fi name gives your network a personal touch and allows you to express your personality or an individual message in a creative way. Simply because it's fun.

For inspiration, we have collected some ideas from various categories for you here. Have fun browsing, choosing or even inventing your own creations ;)
