When Shakespeare, Austen, and Fitzgerald were writing, they didn’t have word processing programs, the Internet, or routers, so they didn’t need to name their Wi-Fi. But if they did, we’re sure they’d be unforgettable (which is a handy trait in Wi-Fi network names!). At Writer’s Relief, when we’re not busy researching publishing markets or guiding our clients through the submissions process, we’re wondering: What would classic authors name their Wi-Fi? We’ve put together a list of funny, clever Wi-Fi names based on classic authors and their writing—and you may be inspired to change the name of your own Wi-Fi network!
