Arris CM820 - Change Wireless Network Name for Arris CM820

Hi-How do I change the wireless network name for Arris CM820? The support page lists many other kinds of modems but not this one. Thanks. Hardware: Mac OSX 10.9.95

The AirPort Express is exactly what you need, but when you attach it to a cable modem, you need to power cycle the modem to pickup the MAC address of the new device.
I suggest you do a full reset of the AirPort by pressing the reset button on it for over 30 seconds, power down the modem, connect the modem to the AirPort, then power up everything, then use the AirPort utility to configure the AirPort and your wi-fi settings from scratch. If everything's good, then the LED on the AirPort will be green and you will have connectivity.
One warning, if you have 105 service from Comcast, the Express will limit your speeds to 90 or so as it has a 10/100 WAN / LAN ports. For 105 speeds and higher you would need a AirPort Extreme.

Changing Wireless network name on Photosmart 5520

I cannot print documents from my network and I think it it because of network confusion. The test page prints fine so I know I have connection to the printer. I have two wireless networks in my home and the printer display shows network#2. I want it to use network #1. How do I change the network name on my printer display panel?

Time machine setup - how to change 'wireless network name' and settings?

I have moved laptop to Mountain Lion.
This is the first time to backup to Timecapsule.
I went to Settings then Select Disk and selected existing Time Machine.
It took more than 30 minutes and seemed stuck on 'Preparing ....".
I cancelled and tried to 'Setup Time Capsule not listed"...
The system recognised the Time Capsule but I see that the network settings is my old 'wireless network' name.
How do I change this to the correct network name and ensure that the settings are correct?
I think if this is corrected, the backup will work.
Thanks in advance.

On the Home screen of the product control panel, touch the right arrow ( ) to view more options.
Touch Setup ( ).
Touch Network .
Touch Wi-Fi Protected Setup .
Touch PIN .
Touch Start . The product displays a PIN.
NOTE:The product begins a timer for approximately two minutes to allow you time to enter the PIN on the networking device.
Enter the PIN on the WPS-enabled router or other networking device.

Necessary to have the same wireless network name for using WDS?

I have set up two Airports in WDS mode. I did this so my ps3 could get on the internet via ethernet (its an older model, and doesn't have wireless, so you have to use an ethernet bridge). I set up the WDS fine, and my Airport extreme base station (the square one) is the WDS main, while as my old Airport extreme (snow) is the remote, which I use to run a cable from to my ps3 to access the internet. This works fine when I have the network names for each base station the same.
I was under the impression that you could have two different named wireless networks for two base stations (i.e .they have different names), as long as you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the WDS settings (i.e. main and remote). However, when I do that, I can no longer access the ethernet from the remote base station on my PS3. I can only access the ethernet via my PS3 if I have the wireless network for each base station literally named the same. Seems kind of strange if you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the main and remote, as shouldn't they be talking to each other via that mode, and not the actual wireless network name?
I would like to have each base station with its own wirelss network name, so I can differentiate between them. I get some strange issues when my airport card scans, it frequently switches between base stations, and this slows down certain programs (i.e. VPN connections for mail etc).
I set this up pretty literally from the airport guide from the apple site.

No that is not correct. Since the 2 are working together to create a single wireless network, they must use the same network name.

OK so I just made a wireless network and using the apple box or whatever. And I want to change the network name. How do I do that?

Just want to confirm that I am also having this issue, The connection is fine, and it is in fact charging (@ 100%)
Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
In case this helps:
OS: Windows 8.1
iTunes version: 11.3.1.8
Device: 5th generation iPod touch 16GB with ios 7

Officejet 4620 wireless network name change

I have searched this forum till i'm blue
I have an officejet 4620 connected wirelessly to my Mac running Mavericks.
It was working FINE until I recently changed the network name in my house.
So how do I get the printer to see the new network name? Please don't say re-install the software?
On a side note there is a good chance I will be upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite soon. So if this will solve it then I will just wait for that. Otherwise, if someone can tell me an easy way to do this i'm all ears.
Thanks

Hi @DeputyDawgATL , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing connectivity issues. I'd like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I'd also suggest this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

HELP!!! WIRELESS NETWORK NAME CHANGE

Does anyone know how to change the wireless network name on a linksys wireless-G router? I can find any software ANYWHERE that will work on a mac. is there any mac drivers or anything out there for this product?

You need to use your web browser to acces the router. Does your documentation give you an IP address for the router or perhaps a web url? If so type that into your browser and the setting should become available. You will need a user name and password to reach the settings. This may be printed on the bottom of the router. Or try admin for the users name and password for the password.

Changing the network name on my wireless router?

I bought my linksys router a few months ago and did all the setup stuff that day, including changing the network name from the default. I want to change the name to something different, but when I went to the setup address, there was no box in which to put the new network name [I was on the Basic Wireless Settings Tab in the Wireless section]. Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What is the model number of the router? Access your admin pages again and select wireless tab and then select the MANUAL button. There you will find what you seek (SSID).

Changing my network name

My network for Airport says my first name and last name Network.. I thought I changed it but it hasn't. Is there a way I can take that off?

Hello TattedNerd. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The Network Name or SSID, can be changed within the AirPort Admin Utility.
To change the Network Name on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
AirPort tab
o Name: <enter the desired Network Name or SSID>
o Click on "Update" to save the settings to the AX.

Can I change the network name?

Can I change the network name on a newly set up Airport wireless network? I have just set up a new 3Gb Time Capsule and got so involved with trying to make it work that I just accepted the suggested name.

I have a 2Tb in process.
If this means that you are currently backing up data to the Time Capsule, let that process complete before you make any other changes.
I think I can see how to change the network password in 'Keychain'. Is that ok?
No, you change the wireless network password the same way that you would change the wireless network name....using the same window in AirPort Utility that is pictured above.
Simply Edit / backspace out the current password and enter the new password that you want to use. Do the same to Verify and then click Update to save the changes.

Change Computer Network Name

Hi all,
I'm trying to change the network name of my computer that windows pcs use to connect. Currently, to connect to my computer, I have to type "\\new-host.linksys\" in explorer to connect to my macbook. I've found where to change the "workgroup" that the computer connects to, but I can't seem to find where to change that new-host.linksys to something like macbook.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would suggest you download Bonjour for windows.
Then once installed you windows pc's can connect to your computer using its machine name.
if you goto your sharing preferences and give your mac a name such as macbook
then its bonjour name is macbook.local

WRT54G Wireless network name problem

My router keeps reseting its wireless network name by itself back to the default "linksys" setting, without any interaction from me. The router is protected with a non default password.

Open routers set up page ....... under wireless tab ..... change the network name (SSID) to any non linksys name ......
Make sure to click save settings after this ......
If still after some time it is changing back to linksys .....
Check the firmware version under status tab ..........
If required update download the latest firmware from http://linksys.com/download .....

Will changing Airport network name affect clients?

Will changing the network name of my Airport Extreme affect the login of wifi clients?
In other words, my previous wifi network name was: John's Airport. I want to change it to John's wifi network.
If the clients have their current login saved on their Macs, will they need to re-login again even though the password is not changing (just the identifying name)?

Yes, if you change the network name (that is, the SSID), all clients will have to select the new network and if the network is protected by WEP or WPA, you will have to re-enter the passcode once for each client.

How to change computer network name?

We're swapping 2 computers in our office. How would I change their network names to represent their new user/location? As well as changing the computer's user account?
The way our current setup is that each room has a name, and the room name is the computer network name as well as the user account name.

you mean the computer name is like "iMac-24inch-at-room-1.local" when you browse the networks ?
If so, Just change it in System Preferences->Sharing.
or the wireless SSID, eg. Airport connected to "Room 1" ?
if this is the case, just select the new room BS and set that in Airport Pref network.

Hiding wireless network name (SSID)

For security reasons I'd like to be able to hide my wireless network name through my homehub but when I choose this option in the homehub settings my tablet says it's not in range, yet my laptop is still able to connect wirelessly.
I suspect that this is something to do with the option I have available on the laptop of connecting even if the network is not broadcasting, something I don't seem to have available on my tablet (Archos cobalt 80, Android version 4.0.4).
Is there a way around this?

I don't know why your tablet won't connect but there really is little security if any to be gained by hiding your SSid. Any serious hacker can find your SSid in seconds. It's more important to have a good passkey for the wireless connection.
If you download inSSider which is a free wireless scanner I believe it will see hidden SSids without any problem. Download it and give it a try.

With that in mind it may be as well just to let your SSid be broadcast and your tablet will connect without problem.
