Changing name on my wireless network

Yes. I click apply, but it only changes it temporarily, after some time it changes it back again.

This is a router issue. On my BT Homehub 6 router, I can display the two newtorks as a single name, and pc automatically chooses best one, or you can set it to show each network adding a 5 after name for 5GHZ network.

Routers vary how things are implemented.

You should look for techical support from router manufacturer website. This is not a Windows issue at all.

I don't want it to add anything to my wireless network, though.

I dont want it to add anything else to the name. I just want my 5 ghz connection and thats it.

I repeat. This is a router issue not a windows issue.

We cannot help you.

Contact router manufacturer technical support.

There are 2 connections to your router. 2.4GHz and 5GHz. to distinguish between these two connections, by default, the router adds 2.4GHz or 5GHz after each SSID name. You can change the SSID name to whatever you want it to be, but it's going to add the 2.4GHz or 5GHz to the name by default to differentiate between the two.

Do you have a Netgear Smart Wizard CD?
If so, run it again.

I didn't get a cd with the router, so no, i don't have it. I will see if i can get in touch with them.
