How to change the name of the Wi-Fi network

Modern technologies are developing at an amazingly fast pace. Some users find it difficult to track all these changes. It is especially difficult to accept what was recently viewed as a violent fantasy, and today is an absolute reality. Create a home network, which will include several computers at once, quite simple.

The user can independently change the name of the Wi-Fi network.

It is also striking that in order to create such a network it is absolutely not necessary to have deep technical knowledge. In addition, you do not need to tune yourself to serious financial losses. The secret to the practical implementation of the idea of ​​creating a home network is to visit a specialty store where you need to purchase a router that will distribute Wi-Fi.

If you face the truth, then you can absolutely accurately state that some owners of routers are still poorly guided in the question of how to configure it and how to change the name of the Wi-Fi network on their own. If you are one of those users who would like to call their home network in an original way, but do not know how to implement it, we suggest you to close this gap in knowledge and familiarize yourself with our recommendations.

Renaming algorithm

If you decide to rename your home network, you should be aware that there are certain risks associated with the actions taken, which were taken by you personally, bypassing our recommendations. Experienced users strongly recommend not to make any changes to the settings of the router, if you do not understand this and if you are not recommended by an experienced router customizer.

TIP. It is advisable to study the original instructions, get acquainted with the algorithm of actions, and only after the realization of each committed action to proceed to their practical implementation.

If you are tempted and made changes to the settings that provoked a serious technical failure, try resetting all the settings. This will allow the router to return the factory settings. It is easy to reset because each router has a special reset button. If you do not know where it is located, take the technical passport of the router in your hands, in it you will definitely find the answer to this question. In order to somehow call your home network differently, you first need to connect to the router.

Connect to the router

To display the parameters of the router on the screen, it is important to initially connect to it. There are two ways to connect to the router:

  • cable;
  • wireless.

If you decide to use the first method, you just need to insert the cable into the router and personal computer.

The wireless method involves launching a router, a short waiting period when it is fully loaded, and then turning on Wi-Fi on a laptop. This is easy to do, just click on the icon of available network connections, select the name of your router and click on it.

If earlier no one endowed the router with any name, then it will be displayed in the same way as the technical device itself is called.

Even if you find several network connections at once and, accordingly, are confused, which of them is provided by your router, look at the signal level. The wireless network connection with the strongest signal strength is sure to be yours.

Now we suggest you open the browser you used to use. In the address bar, write a kind of IP-address: 192.168.0.1. In rare cases, it may be different. If this case concerns you, then again refer to the instructions of your router. The manufacturer necessarily indicates in it what to register in the address bar in order to enter the device settings.

After the introduction of the IP-address of the router in the browser, a new page opens, which does not immediately let you into the “holy of holies” in the settings, but asks you to enter your initial login and password. Do not be alarmed that you do not have such information. If your router was not previously in use in the wrong hands, you purchased it in a trade institution, then the same word admin will appear as both the login and the password.

If you have acquired such a device with hands and after the introduction of the word admin, the input is not carried out, call back the person from whom you purchased the router and ask what username and password he assigned to the device in due time. By the way, experienced users recommend changing the login and password of the router so that none of the outsiders can enter it and make any changes to the settings without your knowledge.

Renaming process

After you have managed to enter the settings of the router, you will see the possibility of making changes to them. It is important to remember that in order to avoid unforeseen deplorable results, all actions must strictly comply with the action algorithm recommended by experienced users. Initially, figure out exactly how you want to name your Wi-Fi. Here in this issue you can “release” your violent fantasy, allow it to fly creatively. The name of the network can be whatever you want.

TIP. After you have come up with a new name, you can proceed to the renaming process. It should be noted that the interface of different models of routers may be different, but in any case, you can find the parameters that we will point to.

First find the tab "Wireless Mode", go to it. Immediately after clicking on this tab, it not only opens and displays in the main window, but under it some additional sub-items appear. For us, the most important for the implementation of the designated task associated with the renaming is the sub-item “Wireless Settings”, so click on it.

Now in the main window you will find several parameters that are easy to change. Among them, the “Name of the Network” is in the very first place, enter in manual mode the name you have come up with in advance.

So that your work is not in vain, do not forget to press the “Save” button after entering a new name in the lower part of the main window. If you forget to do this, then after a reboot or a new launch of the router, your changes will not be saved, you will find the old name. This completes your efforts to rename your home Wi-Fi network.

So, you were able to make sure that renaming your wireless network connection is a snap. It is only important to strictly follow the algorithm, without making any additional changes to the settings at its own discretion.
