Ethernet & WiFi SSID
How do I get my Ethernet network name to be the same as my wifi SSID? Or are they suppose to always be differetn?
the ethernet name is set by windows (if you're on windows).
You can change it but it requires a registry edit.
registry edits=danger, dragons be here
This for the router and not the adapter. I repeat this is for a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk Router.
I understand you have an R7000.
But the network name through the ethernet interface is set by windows, not by the router.
the router only sets the ssid name.
Ok, so this shouldn't be affecting my Internet connection with Xfinity/Comcase. My connect with my ISP goes down once every 24 hours it seems like. I don't my connection can go more than 72 hours before dropping.
