Trying to Change The Name of the Ethernet Network (Not Connection Name)

After installing the Netgear R6300 Router I changed the name of the WiFi networks (both 2.4 and 5.0) without issue but the default Network name for the Ethernet Connection is Network 5. I have gone to Network Setting and I can change the Network Connection Name from the Windows user interface from Ethernet to something else but I can't seem to find a way to change Network 5 to something else. Thanks

Hi @mgfarnum,

 

This is not something that you can do through your NETGEAR device since this is how Windows configured their operating system and network naming scheme. You can check this link and see if this is something that you are willing to try.
