How to change wired SSID

[DonnyB]

I recently updated my AC68U to Merlin 386.1 beta4. When I did this I changed all my wireless SSID names. However, the wired connection stayed the same as before the upgrade and I cannot find where I am able to change it.

Sorry, I don't understand. An SSID is the name of a WiFi access point. A wired Ethernet connection doesn't have an SSID.

It’s probably buried in the Windows registry.

Do you mean the routers domain name for LAN clients?

What @dave14305 said.

This might help too;

The network name on the LAN shows up as a wifi SSID, is this by design?

I am running on a wired LAN when I plug my laptop into it's docking station. The network name shows as one of the SSID's from the Wi-Fi network. It this by design in Windows10, or more likely, I am

My computer has been on a wired connection now for 6 months with the wifi turned off. Still says I am connected to YoungPO 2.

Got to love Windows

My laptop is plugged into one of the LAN ports. If I unplug this, it connects to the wifi network that I set up in Merlin. If I click on the internet icon in the system tray, it shows the SSID of the network I am connected to. If I am using wifi, the SSID that shows is "NewWifi". If I connect to the LAN port, it shows "MYSystem". The old wired SSID (MYSystem) does not show anywhere in Merlin so that I can change it.

As @Jeffrey Young said, this is a Windows "feature" and nothing to do with the router.

Go Into network and internet settings. Then to change adapter options. Right click on your eithernet adapter and rename it to what ever you want.

If anybody is interested, I had to make the change in my registry using the registry editor shown in the link below.
