    How do I change the SSID Name even if is unchangeable?
    Community Answer
    Maybe there is some option holding you from changing the SSID, if not reset the router and try again.

    How do I change my internet address?
    Community Answer
    Your ISP could provide a Dynamic IP, which changes your IP every once in a while. If not, you can restart the router.

  • Question
    If I want to just change the user name on my wireless network, do I need to reconnect everything on the network?

    Community Answer
    Yes. When you change the name, everything that is currently connected to the network will no longer have correct credentials, so you'll need to log them in again.
