For a while mines been:
"Free Public WiFi" for my secure main network
"Secure Home Network No Touchy" as my open guest network
i've seen "💩" a while ago. That was pretty funny - just a little inconvenient at times I guess.

I saw "Martin Router King" and the classical "BND Überwachungsfahrzeug"(BND=German surveillance Service). Überwachungsfahrzeug means surveillance vehicle.
Free Virus

Used "Super WAN" for my 5Ghz and "Bat WAN" for my 2.4Ghz.
My buddy upgraded to a mesh network and named it 'one wifi to bind them'
Heard a story about a wifi network in an apartment building called 'We can hear you having sex'

At my old house, mine was NeverGonnaGiveYouUp. Nobody continued it for all the five years I was there, as far as I could tell :(
For a while mine was named "Get off my lawn"
I'm gonna tweak this to "Get off my WLAN" since it's a relatable anagram

I came across a network named estrogen. Someone took the time to login to the router and change the name but didn't change the default username and password. I changed it to testosterone...
"No somos los marihuanos" (We're not the stoners)
(But they were)
My guest WiFi is called Honeypot. I leave it up even when guests aren't around, but for some reason none of my neighbors have tried to connect. Either they're all much more tech savvy or much less tech savvy than I give them credit.
PercheFi which translates to WhyFi in Italian
My home network used to be named "Network Name? Why not Zoidberg?"
MachoLANRandySavage
I had trouble thinking up an original, funny name so I've just gone with "Lorem Ipsum" in the meantime
