oh yes, i have seen it. one particular was

thisiswififorseventhfloorthirdroom

I guess they wanted to let every one know, to whom this wifi belongs to πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Another example is with mobile devices hotpots.People don't bother to change it and you get something gibberish like,

MotoG4ui454058erm4553

Logging in on a train once I saw EVERYONE on their laptops tethering to their phones. All had some variation of β€˜firstnames iPhone’ in the list of available public connections

That's why I gave my phone the name "☎️". It's quick to spot in a big list of networks.

When I'm travelling on the train, I'll occasionally hear a whispered conversation about my phone's hotspot name: No gods, no masters. :P

Now that's brilliant. Might need to update my router with some emoji... Imagine looking at WiFi networks nearby and seeing:

attwifi
Google Starbucks
NETGEAR
xfinitywifi

FreeWifi
