change the network name on my wireless router?

A few months ago, I bought my linksys router and did the installation of all the stuff that day, including changing the name of the default network. I want to change the name to something different, but when I went to the address of the facility, there was no box to put the new network name [I was on standard wireless settings tab in the wireless section]. Help please?

[Yay that worked, thank you:]

Windows 10 not able to complete its update, the system proceeded to reinstall windows 7. Once this is finished, I found that he had lost access to internet, ipconfig address had been changed and a new unidentified network had been set up, which I'm unable to edit or delete. After spending 2 days trying to get this PC to normal with 7. I tried the 10 upgrade again, but with the same result. I can't figure out how to get my PC to Windows 7 because I don't know how I've changed the name of the network in the first problem.

    To explain my network configuration of the PC with the problem Desktop which is Ethernet is connected to a router with 3 laptops wireless and a wireless printer. Laptop computer and printer seem to work fine, and the Office can see these devices but cannot connect to the internet or a network.

    I fixed the IP address of the desktop computer and tried everything I can think but cannot add this PC to your existing network.

  • E3000 change the network name of the client

    When I configured everything first the E3000 I called CiscoRouter device, and I got:

    (a) CiscoRouter

    I then decided to change the name of the device for: Alberto-network and now I have:

    (a) Alberto Network

    (b) CiscoRouter-comments

    I have not foud a way to change the name of the connection of comments.

    Cisco COnnect allows me to change the password for the network comments, but not the name.

    How can I change the name of the connection of comments?

    Alberto smell, MD

    As dalime said, you must set the name of the router and then the guest account is generated on that basis.  But it's a bit stupid.  If you have configured your router from the web panel name or after you set up your guest account, it will generate a generic name of Cisco.

    Solution:

    (1) disable comments

    (2) change the name of the router (as dalime has shown)

    (3) (cancel) the stupid usb key exchange request

    (4) change the name of the router to what it should be

    (5) (cancel) the stupid usb key exchange request

    (6) turn on comments and now he will recognize the name of the OK to add router "-guest" at the end of

  • Impossible to change the network name/icon

    My PC has three available networks. One is the network of the company, the other is a network of Connectify and the third is my guest network only Virtualbox.

    The corporate network and Connectify can I change the names of by clicking on their icons in the network and sharing Center. No problem. But for the network Virtualbox Host-only, I can click on the icon, but I can't type a different name, do not choose a different icon. The text box for the name is read-only, and there is no button 'choose icon '.

    Why?

    Virtualbox Host-only networking is currently showing as 'Unidentified network - Public network' with a bench icon. I don't want that, because it is incorrect. It's actually a * very * private network, nothing public about it, so I wanted to change his name at least.

    Why inappropriate?

    How can I qualify?

  • Help with script to change the network name.

    Hello

    I made a small script to help me rename the label of network on a portgroup and then correct the label of network on all the virtual machines with this label.

    I came across the problem that it could not update on the virtual machines network label because the portgroup did not exist (this must be because it does not wait for the first order at the end?). I fixed that by doing a line with: "Start-Sleep-seconds 10.

    The script works, but I don't like the solution with 10 sec sleep because it could go wrong if the portgroup takes more than 10 seconds to create (unlikly).

    I tried different things, for example "Wait-task" but without success.

    any ideas?

    $esxi = Read-host "enter the IP address of the host."

    $portgroup_old = Read-host "Enter the name of the portgroup you wish to rename.

    $portgroup_new = Read-host "enter the new name of the portgroup.

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

    Start-Sleep - seconds 10

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false

    Unfortunately, with groups of standard port vSwitch, that's what you're stuck with.

    You could try a loop 'while' like this instead:

    Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

    While (Get-VMHost-name $esxi |) Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old})

    {Get-VMHost-name $esxi |} Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | {Set-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false}

    Thank you very muche for your end of the patient cooperation
    in return, I give free cooking classes
    see you soon

    I'm not sure if you are asking how to set up a secure wireless network, if you ask how to share files between your two computers (and there is no "customer" or "server" in a working group, in a field - which is not), or both.

    So I will give you information on doing both.

    Router - configure manually

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

    1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
    2. attach a class (usually supplied with the router) ethernet cable cat5e port Internet/WAN from the router to the ethernet port on the cable modem.
    3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
    4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

    To configure the router:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing.

    Networking

    Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    XP - configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    Vista - Start ORB > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

    This is the share name that is duplicated on another device on the network, or the name of VICTORIES under the Ethernet settings. Both are in system preferences.

    Under network, click the network connection you are using (wired or wireless). Click the Advanced button, then the WINS tab change the NetBIOS name to something else. Click OK. If it is active, click on the button apply.
