Hi,
I've got a new DSL router and configured it with the same settings as previous.
I already tried and successfuly renamed Network Adapters as they were before, it is now Ethernet and Wi-Fi but it is still not enough. netsh interface show interface command still saying Ethernet 2 and Wi-Fi 2 after reboot.
I also tried netsh interface set interface name=”Ethernet 2” newname=”Ethernet” but didn't help
Any suggestion to fix it ?
It's not a big deal, but still I would like to have it sorted.
Thanks
Try this:
Network Profile Name - Rename in Windows 10 - Windows 10 blog
I did... already edited registry where
Ethernet renamed to Ethernet_old and Ethernet 2 back to Ethernet
the same for Wi-Fi
but didn't help
A wireless network profile will use the SSID of the wireless network (ex: router) you connected to as the default profile name on your PCI did... already edited registry where
Ethernet renamed to Ethernet_old and Ethernet 2 back to Ethernet
the same for Wi-Fi
but didn't help
For wired. I've just tried it and it worked. Did you make the changes for both Profile Name and Description ?
I edited entries here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNetwork
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionNetworkListProfiles
Description and Profile name have been changed, but this is related only for SSID afaik and it's already OK.
The thing is, network adapters are already renamed if I navigate to the Control PanelNetwork Connections
Name for WiFi adapter is already Wi-Fi (renamed from Wi-Fi 2), SSID renamed as well, Ethernet (Ethernet 2) the same.
But as I said via netsh interface show interface there are still Wi-Fi 2 and Ethernet 2... moreover in Windows 10 Settings - Network & Internet is also still Wi-Fi 2 and Ethernet 2...
I don't know how, but obviously names are not changed in the whole system.
Try to power cycle everything to clear up all the DNS cache.
I restarted laptop 2 times already, nothing changed.
Hi there
re-cycle the router + cable box (if you have fibre optic cable) as well - completely power off, leave for 20 secs and restart. Switch off (yes there is actually an OFF button on them) any wifi connected mobile phones too plus any smart TV's / NAS devices.
That way everything in the network should be cleared.
Make sure the entire Kybosh (every piece of networked connected hardware) is OFF (hard powered OFF - not left in standby mode) before powering on Router / Cable box again.
Cheers
