OK, just got a modem router set up and got wifi. So far so good.
Now I can give this thing any name I want it seems. Does this mean that I can call it something 'interesting' just to p*ss of the locals?

    I don't normally use wireless, but occasionally I have my router wireless and also a wireless access point running.

    Put the 2 SSIDs together and you get an interesting Anglo Saxon phrase. :D
    Move along, nothing to see.

    I call mine IP Freely just for amusements sake. Couple of open wifi's here, so I know a few around do try and use them. I also run a wireless adaptor (with it's own WIFI network to do in bedrooms/kitchen) and that's called IP Freely too.

    Oooh and please remember to turn on security. Preferably WPA2, so that you wont be open to wifi stealers etc.
