  1. Network Names


    Hallo folks!


    I have four internet channels.. 2 wifi, and 2 ethernet.


    Now, when I install the two wifi channels I have sometimes back a wifi24000 and another wifi5000.

    These names works perfect, but regarding the Ethernet connections, my computer is connecting to the wifi2400 channel.


    I do not find any way to sort these up. What shall I do? I sure want to give the ethernet channels the name: "Ethernet slow" and "Ethernet fast."


    But how and where can I take control of these names?

    :)

  2. Windows 10; Network Name

    Hi,

    The Registry steps follower that resolved the issue.

    But could you tell us why it appears to select a network status name based on your past Wi-Fi network connections, and then applies it to your wired Ethernet connection?

    Thanks.
