Look Ma No Wires
This LAN is my LAN
This LAN is your LAN (guest Wifi)
When I did van life for a while my hotspot was FBI Surveilled Van.
Albuquerque has a major street named Juan Tabo and every time I drove past I wondered who that was, after a dozen times I finally remembered to look it up when I got home and found out that it was just some non-noteworthy guy lost to time. Network became 'discount Juan Tabo lookalike'
Saw a similar net here: "FBI Surveillance Van". Fun fact: this is not in the US.
Router?IHardlyKnowHer!
Once, in vacation, I found a WiFi named "Bob Marley". I don't know anything about Bob Marley, I hate reggae so I'm not interested but I know "No woman no cry" because we learned it at school. So here I was typing "nowomannocry" as password and guess what, I was logged in. 😂
So it is not the SSID in itself which was fun but I figured it was not too unrelated to your question. 😅
Reboot tot connect
My phone WiFi hotspot is called JabbaTheHub
My phone wifi hotspot is Kaer Morhen. Not a clever pun at all, but it makes me happy.
My home wifi is "Terok Nor", and my mobile hotspot is "runabout".
What do that mean?
It's a Deep Space Nine reference
For the longest time I had "FBI Van" and "NSA Van" for my 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands respectively. 0 cool stories with that scheme, until I changed the 5ghz one to "Ganon's Tower" and a neighbor eventually joined me and named his wifi "Hyrule Castle". We kept that for a few years until the neighbor moved, I believe
Mine is YourKidsAreBrats for the loud screechy neighborhood kids next door.
Mine is "We don't have WiFi", so when guests ask what ours is called, I tell them then get to watch their face go through five different stages as they look around at all my tech...
Then my wife gets to explain to people what the joke is while I giggle like a 5 year old being tickled.
And the password is: "TheCodeisontheBackoftheRouter1"
I always feel sketch at the international airport connecting to "Airport WiFi" network...
My hotspot is BigFatDonkeyDick.
Is this a reference to that court case transcript?
No i made this up before that I think... I'm just sipremely and eternally 12 years old in my humor.
Dobby is a TERF - right next to the Harry Potter gift shop in Edinburgh
Terf?
Congratulations on being one of today's lucky 10,000
TERF - Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist
A name that some bigots have given themselves to appear presentable, because they're saying they're "protecting women" from a minority group that makes up less than 1% of the population (Trans People.) They're basically a bigoted hate group, and/or a cult.
JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, famously is one of them, and funnels a lot of her money into that hate group. Dobby is one of her characters.

“99 problems, but wi-fi ain’t one” is mine currently.
Ours has been "hide yo kids hide yo wifi" for about 15 years probably.
I knew someone who used Unicode glyphs to name their wifi the following string: ┓┏ 凵 =╱⊿┌┬┐
It was a reference to a Doctor Who episode in which people were getting zapped by the monster of the week after connecting to a mysterious alien wifi network.
I did that for my mobile hotspot. No one got it :(
my two favorites are: DropItLikeItsHotSpot YouCantTakeWiFiFromMe
I named mine: MomclickhereforInternet
I use Abraham Linksys, even now that I've moved on from Linksys routers (mostly too lazy to update all my IoT devices).
I used to live near someone who had "Mum use this one", so in OpenWRT I set up several networks with the names:
"Mum use THIS one!" "Mum Use This One" "MUM USE THIS ONE" "Mum use this one (real)" etc, etc
At one of the CeX I go to, the WiFi is called something like "SafeCeX"
I read one where the wifi password at a bar was "YouGottaBuyADrinkFirst." So... customers would ask for the password, then buy a drink, then ask for the password again and be like "oh... you crafty bastard."
Mine is Bathroom Camera #4
I live in a barrio and not sure how many people in my building can either speak or read English

I've carried over Silence of The LANs to multiple routers for so many years now. An old favourite.
Mine is named "Searching..."
It's caught a few friends out
