I want to rename my Wi-Fi network to something more personalized and easier to identify. What steps do I need to follow to change the Wi-Fi name (SSID) on my router, and will I need to reconnect my devices afterward?
Please explain, How to change wifi name on my router?
Changing your Wi-Fi name (SSID) is usually straightforward, though the exact steps depend on your router model.
Here’s how I typically do it:
1. Connect to the router using Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
2. Open a web browser and enter the router’s IP address (commonly 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or the address listed on the router label).
3. Log in with the router’s administrator username and password.
4. Navigate to the Wireless, Wi-Fi, or WLAN settings section.
5. Locate the field labeled “SSID,” “Network Name,” or “Wi-Fi Name.”
6. Enter the new Wi-Fi name you want to use.
7. Save or apply the changes.
8. Reconnect your devices using the updated network name.
If your router supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, you may see separate SSID settings for each band.
If you’re unsure how to access the settings page, sharing your router’s brand and model number can help identify the exact steps.
