one caution about using your name for your network - is that other people might be able to see it also...
unless you have it really secured.

a partial name or code word, pet name, or some kind nickname is better.

we used a generic dlink for ours for years and I did some searches on how to fiddle with it and for security also and added something to it.

But we are also in a rural area and our wireless signal doesn't go too far outside the house. So it's not like a neighbor would be able to get on it.
