Computer Security - How to change my SSID?

Default How to change my SSID?


I am trying to change the name of my Wireless SSID as it has the
default ISP name which I want to hide.

I have managed to access the router settings through IE entering the
router IP but I do not see anywhere to change the SSID and I looked
everywhere. This is a router Wifi Thomson TG585v7.

This Wifi router was given free by my ISP at signing up with them, is
it possible that the ISP has disabled SSID name changing in the router?

Yes I have thanks, unfortunately I came up with this:

http://www.thomson.net/GLOBALENGLISH...contactus.aspx

That is the list of support phones for the router, it costs one Euro
per minute to speak with them. No thanks.

Fron the front page of the router, select 'Home Network', from there,
select your Wireless network. From that page, select 'Configure', it's
in small text at the top of the page on the right. From there, you
should be able to change your SSID and select encryption, password etc.

HTH,
