Are you looking for Nerdy wifi names? During my time living in New York City, I saw many things for the first time I never thought I’d see.

But one thing I saw the most was the best and most funny WiFi network names I’d ever seen. With over 27,000 people per square mile in the city, you start to notice these things...especially as a technology nerd.

Changing that Boring Wifi Name to Good Wifi Name
Changing your Wifi name is easy as 1,2,3,...4,5!
For Router
- More often than not, by clicking the IP Address link provided, http://192.168.1.1, or typing 192.168.1.1 into your browser’s address bar, it should access your router’s admin page. This page should allow you to change your settings like your Wi-Fi name and your Wi-Fi password.
- If there is an error, this means that this is not your correct router’s IP address. For a list of available IP Addresses in connection to your router, click here
