Question

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

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.

Maybe there is some option holding you from changing the SSID, if not reset the router and try again.

Question

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.
