How to Choose a Wi-Fi Network SSID?
When you pick the name that you created, there are a few things that you should consider. They are:
- Never include personal information like your real name, address, birth date, etc.
- Aim for unique but memorable.
- Never make the SSID related to the network password.
- Avoid provocative SSIDs that might make your network a prime target for hackers.
If you follow or consider these things, then there are no security risks. If you’re thinking to hide your SSID to keep hackers away, don’t bother, even if the SSID isn’t being broadcast, it can still be found using packet sniffers and probe requests.
How to Change Your Wi-Fi Network SSID?
Even though some people have Wi-Fi internet connection, they have default wireless names for a router. They even don’t know how to change Wi-Fi name of the router. For those people, I shared the steps for ‘How to change Wi-Fi name of a Router?’
After you pick a name for your network, then you have to change a setting on your router to make the name display or work. Follow the below steps and you will get it done.
1. First, Log into your router as Admin
Different router manufacturers provide different admin panel softwares and sometimes, it even differs from model to model, but the login procedure is almost same for all of them. For this, I am using Windows 10 and TP-Link router.
- Open Command Prompt (type “cmd” in the search bar of Start Menu) and type in the following command “ipconfig” and hit Enter.
- In the next window, find ‘Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi’. Under it, find the item labeled Default Gateway. It shows the IP address of your router. Now type the IP address in the address bar of a web browser and you will see your router’s admin login page.
- 168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 will work most of the times. If it doesn’t work, you should look the instructions in router’s manual to check if there are any special steps.
For admin login credentials, you will find the defaults for your router in the manual as well. Mostly, admin/admin/1234 would be the credentials. In case if they don’t work, check RouterPasswords.com to see credentials for your specific model.
2. Edit the Device’s SSID
After logging in, look for the navigation bar. Look for a section called Wireless, Wireless Networks, Wi-Fi, Wireless Settings or along those lines. Click on it and you will be directed to the page where you can edit your router’s SSID. Type the new SSID and click Save.
Note: This changes will disconnect all the devices forcing them to reconnect to the newly named network.
Let us know us what name you’re using for your Wi-Fi network SSID.
