Network name change

How do I change networks name?

Hi,
It would help to know where you are seeing a Network name ?
This name for example is coming from the router itself (you would have to change it there)

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.

Why does my network name change to the Serial Number of my AExpress?

After setting up a new network with my airport express, shortly thereafter the name seems to change to the serial number of the AE device (ie. Apple Network...). Anyone have any idea why that is happening? It seems to couple with decreased performance/connection to the device as well.
Thanks

so this is my screen when im trying to send myself an email for instance . red color is my mums name and green is my email. "Til" means "too" and "hjem" means "home". So when im trying to enter my own email, my mums name occur. (sorry for my bad english)

Why the computer network name change?

Every now and this this happens: I unhook my MBPro from my office connection (ethernet) and take it into the living room and plug in there (ethernet). Wireless is off. Usually fine, but other times I get the message that a computer with this same name is already in use, so adds a number to my computer name (for local access). So I assume that Time Capsule thinks my computer still in the office as well.
Why does this happen? Is there something I should do before moving the computer to prevent this?
Thanks,
— Richard

Try giving your Mac a DHCP Client ID
System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP -> DHCP Client ID
This should tell your router that you are the same Mac and not assign you a new IP address when you move.
Also after you give your Mac a DHCP Client ID, you can configure your Time Capsule to give your Mac the same IP address when ever it connects
Applicaitons -> Utilities -> Airport Utility
Select your Time Capsule -> Edit -> Network -> DHCP Reservations -> [+] -> Reserve Address by: DHCP Client ID, then enter the DHCP Client ID you gave your Mac. Click [Update]

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

Want to change network name.... and other.

Ok, Hi all.... so new to Apple and just a novice computer user... just purchased a macbook pro and a airport extreme wireless N router ( finally after 5 years of dial up)... so my questions is/are... first my network is named with my first and last name... i don't really want this, so how do I rename my own network??? Also, I have a 5 years old pc gave to my sister... were going to set it up to detect my wireless network... will having a pc on a network along with a mac compromise my macs security by having a microsoft system sharing the network??? i do not want to set myself up for something i will regret later.
As for changing the network name... i don't want anyone within distance or diving by to see my name , first and last, on my network.. know what i mean.
So anyone have any help for me o how to change this???
Thanks,M.

Me too, please. I was able to change a Linksys network by going to Linksys support and having them walk me through it. But those steps don't work on the Apple network. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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

Network name keeps changing with Print Share

I have 3 iMacs on a network using a Brother MFC-9840CDW printer. My computer is set for print sharing. I keep getting messages that the name of my computer is already in use on this network and it keeps adding a higher number at the end of the name. But as soon as it does that, the other computer cannot print until I change my computer name back to the previous number. It works for a while, and then I get the network name error message again.
What can I do to resolve this? Thanks.

New MB user. have windows network. installed printer CUPS driver for my brother 7820N printer. can print when connected directly with USB. MB recognizes printer when not connected directly...must be going through the wireless network. try to print and little printer icon on DOCK starts jumping...says printer is Off-Line. can see the files in the queue.
Any ideas on how to make the printer "on-line"? Thank you.

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).

How to change network name on BT Hub 2.0?

Hi folks,
I've just set up my Broadband with BT here in the UK and all is well.
However, how do i change the network name from the default BThomehub?
I had a belkin router prior to this and i could change it easily by going into the routers home page but in the BT home page it shows the name of the hub/router but i can't change it?
Thanks.

You need to log into the home hub manager and select "settings"
Then select "advanced settings"
Then choose "Wireless" where you can change the Wireless name/SSID
Hope that helps.

Changed network name and now e-print e-mail address doesn't work

I have a 6500A Plus Deskjet. I have an hpconnected account and changed my e-print e-mail address to something I would remember. Then I changed the name of my network. I have to get a new claim code ..... I enter it and when I try to choose my e-print addrss, it says that it is already been taken. I was on the hp site within a half an hour of changing my network name.

Hi rfmal1,
Thank you for joining the HP Support Forums. I understand that you needed to set up the ePrint feature of your Officejet 6500A after changing the name of your network.
Your previous ePrint email address will not be available, once an ePrint email address has been used it is no longer available to be claimed again. I am sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.

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.

E4200 Change Guest Network Name

Is it possible to change the Guest Network Name on the E4200? And if so, is it possible to do so without having to do a complete reset of the router and without using the Cisco Connect software?

Yes you need to download and install the Cisco connect Software. That is the only way to manage the Guest account for the router (unless things have changed). Be aware the new SSID will still have the -guest tagged to it.
Linksys is the only vendor that does this. Also the Guest account in NOT encrypted for security. I would not use it in a public place at all. This is for home use only. All other manufacturers except Linksys, can use full WA2-AES for encrypted information on their Guest Networks. You can also name your Guest SSID to anything you want. Something to think about.
