    'Network Name' Change? (Screenshots incl.)


    Hey guys.

    I'm wondering how I go about changing the "network profile" name set when connected to Ethernet on Windows 10. My WiFi SSID is "Skynet", but on my Local Area Connection network profile name it shows "Skynet 2". Is there a way I can change this to something else?

  2. How to change the name of connections in network and sharing center.

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the steps below:

    1. Press the Win+R keys to open Run, type
    secpol.msc
    , and click/tap on OK to open Local Security Policy.

    2. If prompted by UAC, click/tap on
    Yes.

    3. Click/tap on Network List Manager Policies in the left pane of Local Security Policy. (see screenshot below)

    4. In the right pane of Network List Manager Policies, double click/tap on the network name (ex: Brink-Router2) you want to change. (see screenshot above)

    5. Select (dot) Name under the
    Name
    section, type a new name you want for the network profile, and click/tap on
    OK. (see screenshot below)

    6. When finished, you can close Local Security Policy if you like.

    7. Sometimes you may need to sign out and in to fully apply the new network profile name.

    Please post back if you need further assistance, we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you.

  3. How to change the name of connections in network and sharing center.

    This ONLY applies to Window 10 Pro, as Windows 10 Home does not support the Policy Editor, and being from Microsoft you should know this, are all Microsoft Support Staff really this stupid?

    Regards
