Netgear gnerates a network name, How do I change it to something more personnel?  Or am I missing something during the set-up?

    Which network name is this? Windows? If so, it picks it up from the router's name.

     

    Visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Check the section in the manual Change the Cable Modem Router’s Device Name
