I need to rename my wifi network using Time Capsule. It's currently named w/my actual name and I don't want people in the neighborhood knowing it is my
wireless network. How do I do this?
Time Capsule 802.11n (4th Gen)
Can you click on the Apple icon in the upper left hand corner of your Mac's screen and then click on About This Mac and let us know what version of OSX your Mac is running?
Open airport utility.. manual setup, on the landing page, locate the sub menu, wireless.. second item, wireless network name.
If you are using Lion with airport utiity 6 download 5.6 if the functions you want are missing.. Apple decided people didn't need all kinds of functions in the new utility so now instead of one they have two.. one pretty face and one that actually works.
Yes I am operating 10.7.2
If you have not already done so, please download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Edit the Wireless Network Name as you wish
Click Update at the lower right of the window to save your changes and allow 25-30 seconds for the router to fully restart
Thanks for the help, Bob. This was just what I needed.
how do I rename my network?
