WLAN: Rename network

You should rename your WLAN so that the network is not confused with several networks in the house with a similar or even the same name. In this guide, we show you how to rename your WLAN.

Rename WLAN: Router settings

To rename your WLAN, you have to call up the router settings in any browser.

• Call up the router settings by entering the IP address of the device in the address bar of your browser and pressing Enter. You can find the IP on the back or bottom of the router. Abbreviations such as "fritz.box" or "easy.box" also work with some routers. How to find out the IP address can be found in a separate practical tip.
• You may have to log in with a password. You can find it in your contract documents.
• The settings for your WLAN can be found under the menu item "WLAN" or "Settings". Look for the sub-item "WLAN name" or "SSID". Here you can now enter a new name and save the settings.
