Win11 shows that I am logged into Ethernet to Netgear93. At the same time, I am logged into Wireless SSID i58 (one that I created). What I want to do is log into Ethernet i58 not Netgear93.

I am currently logged into the R7900P.

Disconnect from the SSID on the router or disable the wifi radio on the laptop.&nbsp;
You should be only connecting to one or the other at separate times.&nbsp;

Okay, I will only use Ethernet or Wireless.&nbsp;However, am I able to set the Ethernet to other from Netgear93?&nbsp;

This is a Windows setting, not a router one. It's Windows that assigns network names so look around in its settings.
