how to change wifi name

To change a WiFi name (also called SSID), the general steps are:

1. Open a web browser on a device connected to the router’s network.
2. Type the router’s IP address in the browser address bar (common ones are 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 10.0.0.1).
3. Log in with the router’s username and password (not the same as the WiFi password).
4. Look for the Wireless or WiFi settings section in the router’s interface.
5. Find the box labeled "Name," "SSID," or similar.
6. Enter the new WiFi name you want.
7. Save or apply the changes.

After applying, the router may reboot, and the new WiFi name will appear for devices to connect to. The exact interface can vary by router brand, but the process is similar for most models. For example, with common brands:

• Asus: Wireless > General
• Linksys: Configuration > WiFi > Wireless Security
• Netgear: Basic > Wireless or Settings > Wireless Setup
• TP-Link: Wireless > Wireless Setting or Basic Settings > Wireless Security

This process also typically allows you to change the WiFi password on the same page. If you are using a Google Nest Wifi system, you can change the WiFi name in the Google Home app under Wifi > Network settings. Let me know if there is a specific router brand or device to guide more precisely.
