100+ Nerdy WiFi Names To Galvanize Your Neighbors

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. Half-naked men dancing on subways right in front of my face, a rat literally carrying a slice of pizza 3 times his size, as well as significant celebrities here and there. 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.

Ever wanted to change your WiFi network name to something more unique that suits you or even your humor? Bored with the traditional WiFi names that are given to you by your service provider?

Well, we’ve got you covered from how to simply change your Wifi name to a list of awesomely Nerdy Wifi names you could use for yourself.

Let’s get started!

Changing that Boring Wifi Name to Good Wifi Name

Changing your Wifi name is easy as 1,2,3,...4,5!

For Router

1. 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.
2. 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
3. Once you have the correct IP address, plug that address into your browser’s address bar. This should access your router’s admin page in which you type in your user and password information.

5. Now that you have your username and password, access the router’s admin panel where you can change any of your internet settings to your liking including that boring WiFi name!
