    Ethernet Connection, Modem Router Name

    I have Windows 10 computers. Upon connecting wired Ethernet I noticed that it is showing OLD modem name. Upon connecting wirelessly (WiFi) I noticed that it is showing CURRENT modem name. My question is: How do I get my computers to show the current name
    whether it be Ethernet or WiFi? So strange, I have looked everywhere I know to look. Even asked my internet provider and also Windows tech. Would appreciate any steps walking through Windows 10 Creators Update Version 1703. Is something in error that is
    prohibiting me from being able to access. Network Discovery is on. Private Network is showing. Thanks in advance.

    Network Name from Router is Wrong Sometimes

    I dont know, I'm not familiar with those Linksys setting pages. If I steer you wrong from here, I can't see things to fix it.

    What I do quickly see ;

    It is showing Ethernet active on the WAN port.

    Router normally would be cabled to one of the wifi access points LAN ports.

    What is plugged into the WAN port? Where does it go?

    Its showing DHCP enabled on the LAN on the second image with a range setting

    You want to get DHCP only from the Verizon router.

  4. Ethernet shows wrong router name

    Ethernet Connection not the correct name!

    I have an ethernet connection on my computer that is suppose to show my router name as if i was using wifi. (For example, If my wifi name was "Joe's Network" and if I connected via ethernet it would show that name) But instead it shows "Network" as the name!
    It's giving me serious troubles for Nvidia Shield tablets to recognise my computer is on the same wifi. Can someone help me know what's happening and if there is a fix?

    This Photo is showing the issue. It is showing the name is "Network" instead of the real connection name.
