Network ID <> SSID

(1/3) > >>

rjbinney:
So I had a network - "RJB Net".

I added a new router and named the new network "RJB Net".

The SSID is "RJB Net" and in netsh wlan show profiles it shows as "RJB Net".

But when I hover my mouse over the system tray, it shows as "RJB Net 2".

How to fix?

DaveLembke:
In Network Connections under Control Panel you will see the adapter(s) and if you right-click over the name you can select to rename from the menu to RJB Net

rjbinney:
Thanks Dave. I'd tried that - it  only lets me rename the "Wi-Fi" line.

DaveLembke:
Thats odd as for it should give you access to all network adapters to rename... is this a decommissioned computer from a business that has some sort of group policy control still active on it locking out edits of network adapter name?

rjbinney:
That's an oddly specific question! But, no, it's my personal PC. Traveling now, so wont be back on home network till Friday, so will post screenshots then.

Thank you.
