Make your network stand out with a custom SSID.
Why Change Your SSID
Default SSIDs are generic and can cause confusion in crowded areas. Customizing helps identify your network quickly and adds a layer of obscurity. For TP-Link routers (admin/admin), changing SSID is simple via wireless settings.
Steps to Change SSID
- Access Admin Panel: Go to http://192.168.1.1, login (e.g., Netgear: admin/password).
- Go to Wireless Settings: Find the SSID field.
- Enter New Name: Choose a unique name, save changes.
- Reconnect Devices: Update connections on all devices.
- Troubleshooting: If not visible, restart router.
