Change router name

I entered a unique router name during the initial setup but now would like to change that name to something different. How do I make that change?

I found where I could change the name, but now my other equipment in the house (TiVo or PDA) cannot sync through it. By using the SSID that I originally gave it I can sync and the passwords will work. But once I changed the name, the other equipment sees the router but the password will not work and it will not sync.
So I changed it back and it works but I would really like to change the name, if I could

How to change router name in LELA?

I have a wrt610n router. After updating LELA to the latest version, I notice the name of the router on the network map changed from WRT610N to QPH. The router seems to be the only item on the map that has no rename option. How can I change it back?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello koffee, did you uninstall the old version first before installing the latest version? To avoid experiencing problems, try to uninstall the old version first and then install the new one. By the way, on the map, there's no option for your to rename the router. The model number of the router is displayed at all times.

Hi 1Snowbird,
Do the following on each computer. Do not reinstall until Network Magic is removed from each computer, first. Installing Network Magic again on each computer, won't change a thing, if reinstalled right away.
Folder locations for Windows XP.
Uninstall Network Magic. Reboot.
Use Explore and remove the following folder and its sub-folders:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Pure Networks
\Program Files\Pure Networks
Still using Explore manually clean out your \Temp Folders. Run Disk Cleanup.
Reboot. Make sure that you are connected to the Router.
Reinstall Network Magic.

We installed a new router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print.

Our cable company installed a new wireless router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print from my laptop.
I can't find any ot the Set Up stuff I used initially.
Is there any way to get my printer to work again...wirelessly?

Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. When you start the installation it will ask what kind of installation you would like. Choose "Wireless" or "Network" then click "Next".
Eventually it will ask you to plug in a USB cable to the printer temporarily to communicate the new router's info to the printer. Make sure to not plug in the USB until it asks.

HT2497 Airport is not recognizing my wireless network because my wireless network has the same name as another apartment in my builing. I cannot change the name because my room mate controls it, is there any way I can make it find my wireless network?

It used to be that the other apartment with the same name didn't have theirs password protected so even though only one or the other would show up, I could always get onto one. Now, they have password protected theirs and it seems to be that 100% of the time only theirs shows up which I only can tell because it says "invalid password" when I try to connect to the Internet.
I have asked my room mate to just change the name of the network but she is really slow to do anything about it and I need to be able to get the internet at home and the internet is in her and set up through her computer so I really don't have any way of being the one to just go in and fix it myself.
Is there any other way to make Airport recognize that there are two different networks with the same way so it will find mine? I feel like I have tried everything including mannually typing in the name of my network and typing my password and it still just says "invalid password." I have also double checked that I was typing in the correct password and I am. My room mate is not having any problems accessing the Internet so I know the problem is not with our connection (she also has a Mac, almost the same model as me, I have a MacBook Pro purchased in 2011). I am also able to connect to the Internet on my Mac at coffee shops and the library so I know that the problem is not my computer or my wireless connection so I'm pretty sure it is just that Airport is somehow only recognizing one of the two "WLAN" networks
Any help???!

Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sincerely yours
Sergey Bondarenko

Hi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:
[root@cumpxvoice root]# net
This is the MeetingPlace Express network configuration utility.
Up to the point where you save changes, it is safe to hit ^C to get
out at any time, in which case nothing will have changed.
1) List current configuration
2) Configure Ethernet port 1
3) Configure Ethernet port 2
4) Configure service bindings
5) Set host names
6) Set domain name
7) Configure DNS service

Changing the name of time machine

Okay this is a preemptive, I have an external with three partitions, 1 is for bulk files that won't fit on my Laptop, 1 is for a backup of my PS3, 1 is for my Time Machine. I was wondering if I could change the name of my Time Machine drive as the one I have is not clear and I don't want my girlfriend to mess things up. I suspect that just changing it will mess the whole Time Machine process up so is there either a work around to confuse it that the old saves were indeed on the drive with the new name? I know the sparsebundle file is finicky, of course cause its a backup.
I wanted to ask before I did anything.
I have read this but not sure if I need to go down a similar route http://www.hardmac.com/blog/2008/05/29/how-i-saved-my-corrupted-time-machine-spa rsebundle-image

If you're backing-up to a directly-attached, partitioned HD, all you have to do is change the name of the TM partition (not the drive itself).
Open a Finder window. If the partition doesn't show in it's sidebar, click Finder > Preferences > Sidebar in the menubar, then check the box to make external drives appear.
Back to the Finder window, control-click (right-click) the partition name and select the Rename option. This is one of the very few things you can rename that will not confuse TM. The new name will appear automatically in TM Preferences, for example, and backups will continue in the normal fashion.

CHANGE DEFAULT NAME/SECURITY SETTINGS = LOWER CONNECTION SPEED

I have a Linksys WirelessN Router--If I use the router with all of the default settings I can achieve cable speeds of 300mbps. Fantasically fast!!! As soon as I change the name of the router from "Linksys" to any other name, my speed drops back down to 54mbps. I also changed the security settings to "PSK Personal" and added a personal password so my system wouldn't get "hyjacked." Any thoughts?

Hi… logon to router’s setup page, try changing Radio band to wide 40MHz, wide channel to 9, standard channel to 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change N Transmission rate to 270MBps…wireless security should be PSK personal, also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not.

Changing the name of the tab created using enhancement MM06E005

Hi,
Is there anyone know how to change the name of item level tab from "customer data" to our own tab name in screen exit for trans ME21N/2N/3N? Enhancement used is MM06E005.
And is it possible to show or hide the newly created tab using enhancement depending on the data displayed in tab? If so how?
Any help will be appreciated.

I came across the same issue as well a while ago, see my thread at Can you programmatically change the iView Title?
No one could answer my question properly, so I decided to go the DHTML route; find the <DIV> element encapsulating the proper iView title, and then replace the innerHtml with the new title.... Ackward, I agree, but it works
It's java based, but the actual replacing is all DHTML, I will look up the code and post it

How do i change my name on my wi=fi?

how do i change my name on my wi-fi?

The screenshot above illustrates a change in a Base Station name, or device name of an Apple router.
If you want to change the Wireless Network Name or Wireless Network Password, click the Wireless tab at the top of the window to reveal the settings for wireless on your AirPort router.
Edit the Wireless Network Name box if you want to change the name of the wireless network.
Edit the Wireless Password and Verify Password boxes if you want to change the Wireless Network Password.
Then, click Update at the lower right to save the new settings and the AirPort will restart in 30 seconds.

How do I Change the Name of My MacBook and Why was it Changed after the Upgrade to Yosemite?

Hi everyone,
I upgraded my MacBook Air (2012) to Yosemite a few months back and it changed the name of my Mac from "Alan's MacBook" to "Alan MacBook Air (2)." I simply want to know how to change it back to the original name. Also, why was it changed in the first place after my upgrade to Yosemite?
Thank you so much!!!
Alan

This was a common bug in Yosemite. Follow dwb's instructions but also restart your router. Make sure you're running OS X 10.10.2 since it was supposed to have been addressed with that update.
I have heard allegations regarding simultaneous use of both Wi-Fi and Ethernet (or equivalent adapter, considering it's a MBA) but can find no justification for them, and I never personally observed any correlation to it. It's perfectly acceptable to use both.

Change app names

I was looking at my apps and discovered some games with names in
oriental characters.
I found out that these apps are named "InvisMazeFree" and "GoldMiner",
by finding them in the Finder. (or by telling my device to delete
them from the device).   I also found an app "Routes", that I can't find with Search - because Search (and the file name) finds "Rutas".
I did a "get info" on them in iTunes, but the names are
write-protected.   I'd like to change their names on the iPad, so
people can search for them without knowing which folder they are in.
A similar issue is having a book app "Best of Sherlock Holmes", being categorized as "business".   I'd like to correct that as well.
I'll check to see if my grandchildren play with these, and if not,
delete them.   But other than deleting them, am I stuck with these app
names?

You cannot change app names, so, like you said, you can either keep them as they are, or delete them.

TS1398 I just reset my new router name and password and my iPad keeps picking up the old name using the old password. How do I purge the old info and get it to look for the new name?

I installed a new wireless router and connected with my iPad. I then changed the ID and password with ethernet but now my iPad keeps picking up the old router name and password and doesn't see the new name. How can I get it to stop looking for the old name and find the new one?

Hello Stevo39,
If your iPhone continues to prompt for your old account and password then check out the following article.

I can't change the name or erase my Time Capsule. (new one)

I have a brand new TC and I wish to change the name of the drive (remove the space) and erase it. I've launched the Airport Utility, gone to EDIT-DISKS....and I have no options for what I need. There's no erase button. I can't click on the drive and rename it. I am terribly baffled. I'm connecting to it via its wifi from my MBP.

By default the disk share in the TC is named data
You must have changed it for it to have a space in it..
Jump down to the last screenshot for how to change just the name of the disk.. you need to uncheck the enable file sharing.
But if that doesn't work, follow the whole process from the top.. factory reset etc.
Do a full factory reset of the TC..
Do it this way.
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. without releasing reset keep holding it for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
In the MBP make sure your wireless is set to ipv6 for link-local. This is important.
Now open the airport utility again.
The TC will list as unconfigured wifi device, and you can run through the configuration or you can manually do it..
Just select configure other from the main menu.
Then punch in the IP address which will show up as router in the wifi in the computer.
After a reset it will be default anyway so just type in 10.0.1.1 No password
Now you will get the manual setup screen and you can do the setup over again and change the disk name.
For Mavericks I recommend you use all short names with no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
To change the name of the disk uncheck the file sharing.. otherwise the name cannot be changed.
Once you change the name you can re-enable the file sharing.
