Changing Your Wi-Fi Name

All Wi-Fi networks have names broadcasted by a router; it's how people discover the Wi-Fi on their devices. 

By default, the router manufacturer sets your Wi-Fi name (SSID). Usually, they name it with their company name with some random numbers.

An example of Verizon's Wi-Fi name is Verizon_9HY9HN and ATT6R8kftK for AT&T.

Want to make a statement or show some personality? You can change your Wi-Fi name with something from the list above. 

If you don't know how to change your Wi-Fi name, here's a step-by-step guide. You can do it two ways — on an app and using the router's IP Address.

Wi-Fi Name Change Via App

Internet service providers have made it easy for users to change their WiFi names in an app.

CenturyLink Fiber Internet customers can update their Premium WiFi network name anytime in their HomePass app.

Step 1: Click this triple bar ≡ icon at the lower right side.

Step 2: Go to "Adapt".

Step 3: Click the pencil icon next to the Wi-Fi name you plan to change.

Step 4: Type in your chosen Wi-Fi name and tap “Done” in the top corner.

While the first method is already convenient, in many cases, you don’t need to download an extra app to change a Wi-Fi name.

You’ll only need to know your IP address and a browser to access your network’s configuration page. Below is how it should be done:

Wi-Fi Name Change Via IP Address

This method of changing a Wi-Fi name requires you to know your router’s IP address. It should look something like this: 192.168.1.8.

You can easily find your IP address in the properties of your connected network. You can also find it in the router sticker.

Here is how you can use it to change your Wi-Fi name: 

Step 1:  Enter your IP Address into your preferred browser on any device. Your device should be connected to the router's network you're trying to change the Wi-Fi name for.

Step 2: Enter the router's username and password to log in. For some types of routers, such as on AT&T, a device access code may be necessary. This is also printed on the router sticker.

Once you access your router's admin page, go to the Settings page.

Step 4: Look for a setting named "SSID," "Network name," or "Router Name," all these are the names of your wireless network.

Step 5: Type in your favored funny Wi-Fi name. Click "Apply," "Save," or a similarly named button to save your settings, and you're done!

Bottom Line

Entertain your family, friends, and neighbors with a funny Wi-Fi name that shows them you’re light at heart. 

You can also use your Wi-Fi name as a passive-aggressive option when you have a beef with your not-so-cool neighbors. Just remember that you should never cross the line and use discriminatory or offensive names.

Whatever your reason for changing your Wi-Fi name into something fun, a good laugh will surely lighten someone else’s mood.
