Renaming SSID on Netgear c6300

What is the easiest way to rename the SSID on a Netgear C6300 modem?  I have followed the instructions from Netgear but nothing is working.  I need help with this.

       C6300[v1] or C6300v2?  Look for "Model" on the product label.

     

       _Which_ "the SSID"?

     

       Here's a radical concept which works for some people:

     

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

     

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
    and look for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.
    Look for "Types of Logins" and "Specify Basic WiFi Settings".  Further
    reading might not hurt, either.

       None of that is a useful problem description.  It does not say what
    you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
    showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
    messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
    descriptions or interpretations.

       Clearly.
