How To Change Network Name And Ssid On Your Rax80

by

Changing the network name and SSID on your Rax80 router is a straightforward process that allows you to personalize your wireless network and improve security. Follow these simple steps to update your network settings.

Access the Router’s Admin Panel

Begin by opening a web browser on a device connected to your Rax80 network. Enter the default IP address of the router, typically 192.168.1.1, into the address bar and press Enter.

If prompted, log in using your administrator credentials. The default username and password are usually admin for both, unless you have changed them previously.

Once logged in, locate the wireless or Wi-Fi settings section. This may be labeled as Wireless, Wi-Fi, or similar, depending on your router’s firmware version.

Find the SSID Configuration

Within the wireless settings, look for the field labeled Network Name or SSID. This is where you can enter your desired network name.

Change the Network Name and SSID

Click into the SSID field and delete the current name. Type in your new preferred network name. Ensure it is unique and easy to recognize.

Some routers also allow you to change the SSID broadcast name separately for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Repeat the process for each band if needed.

Save and Reboot

After entering your new network name, locate the Save or Apply button and click it to save your changes. The router may automatically reboot, or you may need to restart it manually to apply the new settings.

Once rebooted, your devices will need to reconnect using the new network name and SSID. Update your saved Wi-Fi networks on your devices accordingly.

Additional Tips

  • Choose a network name that is not personally identifiable for better security.
  • Use a strong, unique password for your Wi-Fi to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Keep your router firmware updated to ensure compatibility and security.
  • If you encounter issues, consult your Rax80 user manual or support resources.

By following these steps, you can easily customize your Rax80 wireless network to suit your preferences and enhance your home or office network security.
