Should I Rename My Wi-Fi Network?
Changing the network name (SSID) and network key is one of the first things you should do when setting up your home Wi-Fi network. Some routers (like Google Wi-Fi or eero) also require you to download an app on your phone to access the settings. If that’s the case, follow the steps in the app. The default network name usually includes the name of the router’s manufacturer. For example, the default SSID for most Netgear routers is NETGEAR, followed by a few numbers. That makes it easier for hackers to identify your router and guess the network key, which is why changing both is so important. Changing the default name also makes it easier to remember and helps avoid confusion with neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks.
