The wireless home network is the common way of connecting our computer to the Internet today. If you want to log into your own network you will most likely see all kinds of network names (SSID) of the neighbors with all kinds of strange combinations of numbers and numbers. Many manufacturers include the brand name in the network name. The danger here is that hackers can break in more easily if they know the brand of your router. In this article, you will learn how to rename your own network so that you can better distinguish it and make your network more secure.
To step
- Use your router's software. Some routers come with software that allows you to easily make changes to the configuration without having to use a browser. You will still need to enter your username and password.
Close the browser window. If you have devices where connection information is stored, you will need to reconnect to these devices. Enter your password again. Changing the network name is done!
Tips
- If you entered the correct IP address, but the router is not responding, try resetting the router. Check the instructions for use or the manufacturer's website to find out how. This way you can reset the IP address to the factory setting.
- Remember that others can see your chosen name when they are near your network.
Warnings
- Never process personal information in your network name and always protect your network with a strong password!
