If you are a Windows user, you need to left click on the signal icon located at the bottom right of your panel on the desktop. Find the name of the network in the list that says “Connected”. This Connected network is your SSID.
Mac users need to select the Wi-Fi icon from the menu bar and search for a list of network with a check mark. This check marked SSID is your network.
iOS users need to select ‘Settings’ and select ‘Wi-Fi’. In this list find a network with a check mark.
Android users need to select ‘Settings’ and select ‘Wi-Fi’. In the list of networks, find one that says ‘Connected’.
You need to enter the default IP address of your router within the browser of your computer. Now, enter the default username and password to gain access to the admin page. This information will be available on the sticker on the router device. Now, after gaining access, look for the settings page and you will find ‘SSID’ or ‘Network Name’. The name displayed here will be your network’s SSID. If you wish, you can change it as you wish and click ‘SAVE’. This new SSID will now be displayed on all your devices.
