Windows 10: SSID not showing up after changing default name

LS


SSID not showing up after changing default name. I had a WiFi connection with the default SSID name. On the phones it is shown, but on my Windows 10 PC not.

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.

 

name changes??

If you desire a name change please do the following:

• Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
• Make sure you have a good reason.
• Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
• Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

 

Change SSID

Hi JefeHulet,

The network name (SSID) must be changed on the router.

Type the address of your router in the browser (it is written on the back of the router), then log in to the router> wireless settings, select SSID, then set a new name.
