Windows 10: How Do You Edit / Change Name & Properties Of Your SSID ?

Hi Everybody.


I once changed my SSID name to a more personal name when finding my fibre connection at home, but now I actually want to change it back to my router name. I have done it before, but I know someone talked me through the process then too. Please help.


Thanks a bunch

The network name on the LAN shows up as a wifi SSID, is this by design?

Hi Annie,

The network name will be set to one of the service set identifier (SSID) from the Wi-Fi network which is completely separate to your SSID. The Network Properties should include the system's IP address, as well as the IP address of the local domain name service
server, which is normally the router in a home or small business.

This name can be somewhat uncertain as to how you can change it with domestic routers, and sometimes the only way is to completely reset or refresh the router. If doing so failed to change it, we highly advise reaching out to the router manufacturer for
further assistance. In the meantime, you can rename it by following these steps:

• Type Control Panel using Search in Cortana.
• Under Network and Internet, click on View network status and tasks.
• Under Control Panel Home, click on Change adapter settings.
• Right-click on Ethernet, then choose Rename to modify your network's name.

If you run into some issues, do not hesitate to reply.
