Wireless Network Names Don’t Tell You Much

It’s been my experience that the names of wireless networks do not tell you much about where they are. I do not use wireless network names as default names for anything.

Be aware that wifi network names are sometimes offensive! as I write this, one of the visible wireless networks is “DANKNASTY BALLASAUCE” — I kid you not. But more importantly, they are mostly generic and useless: “linksys”, “netgear1”, “2WIRE985”, etc.

Before you use a wireless network name to for something, make sure there isn’t something more appropriate you could use.
