Making the Network name appear on top bar?

Does anyone know a way to make the Network name appear on the top bar. I have a split network in my house and would like to see which one I'm connected to at all times.

No way to do that, you will need to go into the settings and look at the Wi-Fi connection.

  • My iphone is unlocked, but everytime i put in a sim, the network name comes up with no signal

    I bought an unlocked iphone 4 off my friend and tried a few micro sims from different networks and all the networks names come up, but, they all have no bars for signal. Its very frustrating.
    Please Help

    same problem here!
    I have read and spent days for googling it, and there are a lot of people with this problem.
    This is more likely to happen if your device is Factory Unlocked.
    And it is a pity that i HAVEN'T FOUND ANY SOLUTIONS for this
    Haven't met or read anyone with this solved.
    mine is originally UK vodafone. it has been factory unlocked and i have gone abroad, restored, and no signal bars,but carrier name appears. But with another foreign SIM card, itHAS GOT signal!! Only with the one i need, is not working.
    I hope with a firmware update coming, this will be fixed.
    I could link dozens of unanswered questions with the same s**t.
    I also noticed, that this problem occured recently ... around November 2011. when iS 5.0 or 5.0.1 came out.

  • I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, join greys out.  It has a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it.

    I can't join a network, because everytime I type in the password, "join" turns grey.  There's a lock sign next to the network name, but I'm not sure how to unlock it.  Can you help me??

    The way you "unlock" it is by typing in the correct password. The lock indicates a private network that requires a password. Are you sure you have the correct password? Is this your own home network?
    Why don't you reboot your iPad and try to log in again. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the button and the iPad will shut off. Turn back on by pressing the sleep button again until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if the iPad will accept your password.
    If that doesn't work, you could try tapping the blue arrow next to the network name and then tap Forget This Network. Restart your iPad as described above. Then go back to settings, tap WiFi, select the network and enter the password again and see if it works.

  • Whe When I activate my Personal Hot Spot on my iphone, it broadcasts my full name to the world as the network name.  How do I change that?

    When I activate my Personal Hot Spot on my iPhone, the iPhone broadcasts my full name to the world os my network name.  How do I change the network name to something other than my name?

    Connect your iPhone to your computer, when the name appears under DEVICES on the far left frame highlight it and type in the new 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

  • 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).

  • HT3783 I have created a distribution list of 22 names in my Contacts Folder.  When I try to send an e-mail using the alias, only 7 of the 22 names appear in the address line.  Why don't all the names appear?

    I have created a mail box with 22 names in it.  When I want to send an e-mail to this address and its recipients, only 7 of the 22 names appear in the address line of the e-mail.  Why won't the remaining 15 names and addresses appear in the address line?

    okay, this is actually a common problem.  from your main screen select the blackberry key (next to track ball)->options->security->general settings->include address book->no->reset phone->problem should be fixed!
    let me know if this works for you,

  • How to change the network name and line name on iPad 4?

    Could anybody help me how to fix this problem?
    Previously I used qb (a mobile network in Cambodia) for my iPad 4 (iOS 7.0.4 non-jailbreak) the network name is qb.
    The problem is that after I changed to use SMART (another mobile network in Cambodia) for this iPad the network name is still in QB and the Line name changed to SMART.
    I don't know how to fix it now.
    I have tried many methods as in restore through iTunes, reset network setting, reset all setting... but I still could not get the solutions.
    I do hope to get it fix through all your experience.

  • 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.

  • The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password.  I have an HP laptop

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • I had no problem connecting to my network and now all of a sudden I can't connect.  Instead of prompting me for a password it comes back and says unable to join the network ("name") and then the option is Dismiss.  Anyone else have that problem?

    I had no problem connecting to my network and now all of a sudden I can't connect my iPad.  Instead of prompting me for a password it comes back and says unable to join the network ("name") and then the option is Dismiss.  Anyone else have that problem?  I've gone thru all my settings and can't seem to find a way to log into my network.  Don't get the option to put in my password.  It just give me the name of my network and option of dismiss instead of password.

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • "The home folder could not be created because the network name cannot be found" error in AD users and computers

    Our home folders are stored on a non-windows NAS device and with Windows XP and 2003 we've always got the above error when creating or modifying users home folders, even when the shares were al ready created and being used.
    However this was never really a big issue as the error that popped up was really for information and finshed with a "we've modified the user properties anyway, please create the share manually" type message.
    Unfortunately now we are moving to windows 7 and 2008R2, this last part of the the message is missing and it won't accept the correct value. 
    This issue may be in the way that the NAS device shares the folder, as only the username that matches the folder name can access the share.  This behaviour can't be modified.
    Is there a way to get Windows 7/2008R2 AD users and computers to behave the same way that Windows XP/2003 does , i.e. don't try and create the share just set the value in the user properties  ?
    The AD is still at 2003 level and we can still use Windows XP/2003 clients to make the changes but this is a bit of a limitation.

    The KB article is almost what we have apart from theitalic underlined
    part
    Consider the following scenario:
    You use a domain administrator account to log on to a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
    You use the Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in to connect to a domain controller.
    You open the Properties dialog box of a user account.
    The user account has sole access to a shared folder path that cannot be accessed by the administrator account.
    You set the Remote Desktop Services Home Folderattribute to the shared folder path.
    NoteThis attribute is located on the
    Remote Desktop Services Profiletab.
    You click Apply or OK.
    In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
    The home folder could not be created because: The network name cannot be found.
    Note If you click Apply or OK again, no error message is returned. However, the setting is not saved.
    I think the important bit is
    The user account has sole access to a shared folder path that cannot be accessed by the administrator account.
    We manually create the shares on our NAS and then just want to enter the path in the profile tab, I suppose the question is how to we stop it trying to create the shares ?

  • This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

    This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
    The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
    Please help me!

    If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

  • How can I change the brand name appearing on volume mixer?

    I tried changing the brand name of Mozilla Firefox. It changed the brand name which appears on the browser but it didn't changed the brand name appearing on volume mixer. So how can change that one too?

    then the signature will obviously be broken - i don't really know what backlash this will have, but it's definitely not worth the hassle (possibly windows giving error messages, anti-virus programs might report it as some threat and there might be problems with the firefox update mechanism, not to mention you'd have to repeat the procedure after every new update).
